Value Collection SC70573423 Mill File 8 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70573423 is an 8-inch American-pattern mill file designed for sharpening, deburring, and smoothing metal surfaces in trade and shop environments. This single-cut file features a second-cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for finishing passes where controlled material removal and a smooth surface result are required. The file measures 25/32 inches wide and 9/64 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.4 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand-filing operations without fatigue. Licensed tradespeople and skilled shop technicians working on equipment, tooling, or metal components will find this a practical bench staple.

This mill file is appropriate for use across a range of trade applications including HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing and pipefitting metal prep, electrical panel work, and general maintenance tasks requiring controlled stock removal or edge cleanup on ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts. The single-cut tooth pattern produces a smoother finish compared to double-cut files, making it a preferred choice when surface quality matters on a final pass. Typical use scenarios include sharpening lawn mower blades, deburring cut pipe ends, and cleaning up machined surfaces on mechanical components.
