Value Collection SC70573514 Mill File 10 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70573514 is a 10-inch American-pattern mill file designed for general metalworking, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. It features a single cut pattern with a bastard cut coarseness, making it well-suited for draw-filing flat surfaces and removing moderate amounts of material while leaving a relatively smooth finish. The file measures 31/32 inches wide and 11/64 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a separate file handle. It is a rigid, non-flexible file intended for hand filing applications across a range of shop and field settings.

This mill file is a standard hand tool used by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople for smoothing burrs, sharpening edges, and fitting metal parts. The bastard cut grade handles stock removal efficiently on ferrous and non-ferrous metals without excessive tooth loading. It is appropriate for bench work, on-site fitting, and maintenance applications where a medium-coarseness flat file is needed.

Key Features

• 10-inch length provides good leverage and stroke length for flat filing tasks
• Single cut pattern delivers smoother surface finish compared to double cut files
• Bastard cut coarseness balances stock removal rate with surface quality
• 31/32-inch width suits flat and slightly curved work surfaces
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for added control and safety
• Rigid, non-flexible body maintains consistent contact across the work surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern mill file suitable for general hand filing on metal workpieces across maintenance, fabrication, and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang with a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injuries. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged. Files should not be used on hardened steel surfaces harder than the file itself, as this will damage the cutting teeth.
