Value Collection SC70573522 Mill File 10 in Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70573522 is a 10-inch American-pattern mill file designed for general metalworking, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. It features a single cut tooth pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for smoothing and draw-filing flat or slightly curved surfaces. The file measures 31/32 inches wide and 11/64 inches thick across the cutting face and includes a tang for use with a standard file handle. At 0.53 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool built for hand use by machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians.

This mill file is a standard utility file used in residential and commercial maintenance shops, fabrication environments, and field service applications. It is appropriate wherever controlled material removal or edge refinement is needed on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The second cut grade removes material faster than a smooth cut while leaving a finer finish than a bastard cut, making it a practical middle-ground choice for a wide range of hand-filing tasks. A file handle is required and sold separately.

Installation Notes

Always seat a properly sized file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang during filing strokes. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and discard any damaged files. Store files individually or with protective sleeves to prevent tooth damage and protect adjacent tools. File handles should be checked for secure fit before applying pressure.
