Value Collection SC70571716 Half Round File 14 in Bastard Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70571716 is a 14-inch half round American-pattern file designed for general machining and metalworking tasks. It features a double cut pattern with a bastard cut coarseness, making it well suited for fast stock removal and surface shaping on a range of metals and materials. The half round profile allows technicians and machinists to work both flat and curved surfaces with a single tool. At 19/32 inches wide and 13/32 inches thick, this file offers a solid cross-section for controlled, consistent strokes. A tang end is included for use with a separate file handle.

This file is intended for professional machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications. The bastard cut double cut pattern is a common choice when removing material quickly before finishing with a finer cut file. It is appropriate for deburring, fitting, and shaping operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in shop and field environments. The half round shape is especially useful when working on curved interior surfaces such as holes, slots, and rounded recesses alongside flat stock work.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, fabricator, or maintenance technician typically installs a file handle onto the tang before use — never drive the tang into a handle by striking it against a hard surface. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and gloves when filing metal. Keep the file clean and free of metal buildup using a file card to maintain cutting efficiency.
