Value Collection SC70574223 Flat Double Cut File 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70574223 is a 6-inch flat American-pattern file designed for general machining and metalworking applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for moderate material removal and shaping on metal workpieces. The file body measures 5/8 inches wide and 5/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.18 pounds, it is a lightweight hand tool intended for bench work and detail filing tasks performed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians.

This file is intended for machining and fabrication environments where flat surfaces, edges, and shoulders require controlled filing. The second cut coarseness grade sits between bastard and smooth, offering a balance of stock removal speed and surface finish. It is appropriate for deburring, fitting, and shaping ferrous and non-ferrous metals on the bench or at a machine. The tang design requires a separately purchased file handle before use.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into an appropriately sized file handle before use to prevent hand injuries from an exposed tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and consistency of stroke. Inspect the file for cracks or damaged teeth before each use. File handles are sold separately and should be inspected regularly for splits or looseness.
