Value Collection SC70590211 American-pattern File 6in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70590211 is a 6-inch American-pattern extra slim taper file designed for precise hand-filing work on tapered saw teeth and other narrow-profile applications. Cut in a single pattern, this file removes material in one direction for controlled, smooth stock removal. The tapered body measures 9/32 inches at its widest point, allowing the file to reach into tight gullets and narrow slots where standard files cannot fit. A tang end is included for use with a standard file handle. This tool is intended for trade professionals and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable file geometry for saw maintenance and metalworking tasks.

This file is suited for sharpening tapered hand saws, crosscut saws, and similar tooling where precise tooth geometry must be maintained. The extra slim taper profile makes it well-matched to fine-pitch saw blades with small, closely spaced teeth. It is also used in general metalworking and toolroom applications where a narrow, tapered cutting profile is needed. The single-cut pattern makes it appropriate for finishing passes and detail work rather than aggressive material removal.

Key Features

• Extra slim taper profile at 9/32 inches wide for access to narrow gullets and tight slots
• Single-cut pattern for smooth, controlled stock removal and finishing work
• 6-inch length of cut provides adequate reach for most hand saw sharpening tasks
• Tang end accepts standard file handles for safe, controlled use
• Non-flexible construction maintains consistent file geometry under hand pressure
• American-pattern design conforms to standard trade file specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use file compatible with typical hand saw sharpening and metalworking applications requiring an extra slim taper, single-cut, 6-inch American-pattern file.

Installation Notes

Always attach a properly fitted file handle to the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or appropriate fixture before filing to maintain control and consistent tooth geometry. Files cut on the forward stroke only — lift the file on the return stroke to avoid dulling the teeth prematurely. Dispose of worn files properly and never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool.
