Value Collection SC70574033 Flat File 4 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70574033 is a 4-inch American-pattern flat file designed for precision metalworking and machining applications. This double-cut file features a smooth cut coarseness rating, making it well suited for finishing passes and light stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 15/32 inches wide and 5/64 inches thick, with the full 4-inch length serving as the active cutting surface. A tang end is included for use with a standard file handle. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians keep this size on hand for deburring, fitting, and surface cleanup tasks in the shop or field.

This file is intended for machining and general metalworking environments where a compact, flat profile is needed for working in tight clearances or on flat mating surfaces. Its small form factor suits bench work on precision parts, die and mold maintenance, and hand-fitting operations. The smooth double-cut pattern removes material evenly and leaves a relatively fine surface finish compared to bastard or second-cut grades.

Installation Notes

Always seat a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang tip. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent pinning, which can scratch the workpiece surface. Files are hardened tools and should not be used to strike other objects or subjected to lateral bending force.
