Value Collection SC70573019 Mill File 4 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70573019 is a 4-inch American-pattern mill file designed for sharpening and smoothing metal surfaces in maintenance, fabrication, and tool-reconditioning work. Built with a single-cut bastard coarseness, it removes material at a controlled rate suited for finishing flat and slightly curved surfaces. The file measures 7/16 inches wide and 5/64 inches thick, with the full 4 inches of length dedicated to the cut face. A tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. This file is a standard hand tool for machinists, millwrights, and general trade professionals who need reliable material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

This mill file is suited for bench work in shops, job sites, and maintenance environments. Common applications include deburring sheared edges, refiling saw teeth, smoothing weld spatter, and dressing flat metal surfaces. Its compact 4-inch length makes it practical for close-quarter work and detail filing where a longer file would be unwieldy. Single-cut geometry produces a smoother finish compared to double-cut files at the same coarseness grade, making it appropriate for final passes on tooling and fixtures.

Key Features

• Single-cut bastard coarseness for controlled stock removal and a cleaner finish
• 4-inch cut length covers the full working face of the file
• 7/16-inch width accommodates flat surfaces and shallow grooves
• 5/64-inch thickness provides a rigid, non-flexible body for consistent pressure
• Tang end designed to seat into a standard turned or molded file handle
• American-pattern mill profile — a widely recognized standard geometry across trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand file compatible with standard file handles accepting a tang-style mount, suitable for general metalworking and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use — an unhandled tang file can cause serious hand injury if the tang drives back under pressure. Files should be used with forward strokes only; dragging the file on the return stroke dulls the teeth prematurely. Keep the file clear of moisture and store it so teeth do not contact other metal tools, as contact damage reduces cutting efficiency. A file card or brush should be used regularly to clear metal filings from the teeth during extended use.
