Value Collection SC70574025 Flat File 4 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70574025 is a 4-inch American-pattern flat file designed for general machining and metalworking tasks. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well-suited for moderate stock removal and surface refinement on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 15/32 inches wide and 5/64 inches thick, with a traditional tang end for use with a standard file handle. It is a non-flexible design intended for controlled hand-filing work on flat and slightly contoured surfaces. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users for this type of file.

This file is appropriate for bench work, deburring, fitting, and light shaping operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Its compact 4-inch cut length makes it useful for detail work and access to tighter workpiece features where a full-length file would be unwieldy. The second cut coarseness provides a balance between material removal rate and surface finish quality, placing it between bastard and smooth cut grades in the standard American-pattern progression.

Key Features

• Double cut pattern for efficient material removal on flat surfaces
• Second cut coarseness balances stock removal and finish quality
• 4-inch cut length suits detail and close-quarter filing work
• Tang end compatible with standard replacement file handles
• Non-flexible construction for consistent stroke control
• Flat profile handles flat surfaces and inside angles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use flat file for standard American-pattern file handle systems used in general machining and metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or maintenance technician typically installs this file into a separate file handle before use — operating a tang file without a handle risks injury from the exposed tang. Secure the handle firmly before applying filing pressure. Keep the file clear of grinding sparks and moisture to preserve tooth sharpness and prevent corrosion.
