Value Collection SC70575428 Hand File 8 Inches Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70575428 is an 8-inch American-pattern hand file designed for material removal and surface finishing in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. This file features a double cut pattern with a second cut coarseness grade, making it well-suited for aggressive stock removal followed by moderate finishing work. The blade measures 25/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a file handle. It is a rigid, non-flexible file intended for use by machinists, pipefitters, welders, and general maintenance trades.

This hand file is appropriate for bench work and hand-filing tasks in both shop and field environments. The second cut double pattern is effective on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. It is commonly used to deburr edges, dress flat surfaces, fit mating parts, and clean up welds or castings. The 8-inch cut length and standard hand-file profile make it compatible with a wide range of standard file handles sold separately.

Installation Notes

File handles are not included and must be sourced separately; always seat the tang fully into the handle before use to prevent injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and avoid slipping. Never use a file without a handle, and never hammer a file or use it as a pry bar, as files are brittle and may fracture under impact loading.
