Value Collection SC70589411 Taper File 8 Inches Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70589411 is an 8-inch American-pattern slim taper file with a single-cut tooth configuration, designed for controlled material removal on tapered surfaces. The tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during use. At 15/32 inches wide and 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to maneuver in tight work areas. This file is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need a reliable hand file for deburring, sharpening, and shaping ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This slim taper file is commonly used for sharpening handsaws and crosscut saws, making it a staple in saw servicing applications. The tapered profile allows the file to reach into gullets and between teeth on a range of saw pitches. It is equally useful for general bench filing tasks in HVAC fabrication shops, electrical panel shops, and plumbing fabrication environments where clean edges and precise shaping are required.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern slim taper file suitable for use on handsaws, crosscut saws, and similar tapered filing applications across trade and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Always seat a file handle securely on the tang before use to prevent hand injury from an exposed tang tip. File in one direction only, applying light, consistent pressure on the forward stroke and lifting the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Keep the file clear of moisture and store it separated from other metal tools to prevent dulling. Discard and replace any file that shows cracked, chipped, or worn teeth.
