Value Collection SC70574629 Flat File 12 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70574629 is a 12-inch American-pattern flat file designed for general metalworking and machining applications. It features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness, making it well suited for rapid material removal and shaping of metal workpieces. The file measures 15/32 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. It is a rigid, non-flexible file intended for bench work and hand filing tasks performed by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians.

This flat file is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where controlled stock removal on flat or slightly curved metal surfaces is required. The second cut double pattern delivers a balance between speed and surface finish, making it a practical choice for deburring, fitting, and shaping ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is sold individually and requires a separate file handle for safe use with the tang end.

Installation Notes

Always fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries during filing. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before applying file pressure. Apply forward stroke pressure only and lift the file on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
