Value Collection SC70571633 Half Round Double Cut File 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571633 is a 12-inch American-pattern half round file built for precision material removal in machining and metalworking applications. The double cut pattern features two intersecting rows of teeth that work together to remove material efficiently while still allowing the operator to control surface finish. At 1-1/8 inches wide and 11/32 inches thick, the profile gives access to both flat and curved workpiece surfaces. A smooth cut grade makes this file appropriate for finishing passes where a finer surface is required. The tang end accepts a standard file handle, which should be installed before use. Licensed trades and skilled machinists both reach for this style of file when fitting, deburring, or refining machined components.

This file is suited for workshop, maintenance, and production environments where hand filing of metals is part of standard workflow. The half round cross-section allows work on flat surfaces using the flat face and on concave curves using the rounded face, making it a versatile single tool for mixed geometry tasks. Smooth cut double files in this length are commonly used in machining, tool-and-die, and general metal fabrication for finishing operations after rougher stock removal is complete.

Key Features

• 12-inch cut length covers large flat and curved surfaces in a single stroke
• Double cut tooth pattern removes material efficiently across both cutting directions
• Smooth cut grade suited for finishing and fine material removal
• Half round profile works on flat and concave surfaces without changing tools
• 1-1/8 inch width and 11/32 inch thickness provide a sturdy, stable filing platform
• Tang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern half round file suitable for use in machining, maintenance, and metal fabrication applications where a 12-inch smooth cut double file is specified.

Installation Notes

Always seat a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries from an exposed tang during filing. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before applying filing pressure. File in controlled forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Inspect the file for cracked or chipped teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
