Value Collection SC70575733 Hand File 14 in Smooth Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70575733 is a 14-inch American-pattern hand file designed for smoothing, deburring, and finish-filing metal surfaces. With a smooth-cut tooth pattern, it removes material at a fine rate, making it well suited for final-pass work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. It carries a rigid, non-flexible construction for consistent pressure and control across the full 14-inch cutting length. Tradespeople and fabricators reach for this file when a precise, clean surface finish is required on workpieces that have already been roughed out with a coarser file.

This file is used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where a smooth surface finish is the goal. It is appropriate for work on steel fittings, pipe ends, brackets, and machined components. Typical install scenarios include deburring cut pipe in plumbing and HVAC rough-in, dressing weld spatter, and smoothing sharp edges on sheet metal or structural steel before assembly. The 14-inch length gives adequate reach and leverage for bench work as well as in-place filing on larger assemblies.

Key Features

• Smooth-cut tooth pattern for fine material removal and finish work
• Full 14-inch cutting length along the entire file body
• Rigid, non-flexible body for consistent filing pressure and control
• Tang end compatible with standard aftermarket file handles
• American-pattern profile suitable for flat surface and general-purpose filing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern hand file for use with any standard file handle accepting a tapered tang. Suitable for use on steel, iron, aluminum, brass, and similar metals in trade and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke angle. Keep the file clean of metal filings using a file card or brush to prevent pinning and surface scratching. Do not use the file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened body is brittle and can fracture.
