Value Collection SC70573621 Mill File Single Cut 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70573621 is a 12-inch American-pattern mill file designed for smoothing, draw filing, and deburring metal surfaces. It features a single-cut tooth pattern, which produces a finer finish than double-cut files and is well suited for lathe work, finishing flat surfaces, and sharpening saw blades and cutting tools. The file measures 1-5/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick along the cut length, giving it a flat profile that tracks consistently across work surfaces. A tang is included for use with a file handle. At 0.84 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use.

This mill file is used across metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication settings, including machine shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in work, and general trade use where metal edges or threaded components need cleanup. The second-cut coarseness makes it appropriate for intermediate finishing work — faster than a smooth cut but more controlled than a bastard cut. Technicians reaching for a file to clean up burrs on copper fittings, conduit knockouts, or sheet metal edges will find this profile useful.

Key Features

• Single-cut tooth pattern for finer, more controlled stock removal
• Second-cut coarseness grade balances cutting speed with surface finish
• 12-inch cut length covers broad flat surfaces in fewer passes
• 1-5/32-inch width provides stable contact on flat workpieces
• Tang included for mounting a standard file handle
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent file pressure across the stroke

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern mill file suitable for general metal filing, edge dressing, and tool sharpening tasks across trade and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Mill files are hand tools used by machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for metal finishing and deburring. Always mount the file onto a properly sized handle before use to protect against tang injuries. File in the forward stroke direction only and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and reduce injury risk.
