Value Collection SC70574439 Flat Double Cut File 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70574439 is an 8-inch American-pattern flat file with a double cut and smooth cut coarseness, designed for general-purpose material removal and finishing work in machining and metalworking applications. The flat profile measures 25/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick, with the full 8-inch length available as a cutting surface. A tang end is included for use with a standard file handle. At 0.4 pounds, this file is lightweight and easy to control through extended work sessions. It is a non-flexible tool built for precise, repeatable strokes on flat workpiece surfaces.

This file is suited for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working on flat metal surfaces where smooth, controlled stock removal is required. The double cut pattern removes material efficiently on the forward stroke while the smooth cut grade minimizes surface roughness, making it appropriate for finishing passes on steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It ships individually and is intended for bench or hand filing tasks in shop environments.

Installation Notes

File handles are not included and should be fitted to the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Files should be used with forward-stroke pressure only and lifted on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Do not use this file on materials harder than the file itself, as this will damage the cutting teeth.
