Value Collection SC80757610 Flat Double Cut File 16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC80757610 is a 16-inch flat, double-cut American-pattern file designed for material removal and surface finishing on metals and other hard materials. The double-cut tooth pattern removes stock quickly and leaves a moderately smooth surface, making it well-suited for deburring, shaping, and fitting metal components. At 1-17/32 inches wide and 5/16 inch thick, this file provides a stable contact surface for controlled strokes. It features a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 2.035 pounds, it carries enough mass for efficient cutting without fatiguing the user during extended work.

This flat bastard-cut file is used across a wide range of trade and maintenance applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals reach for a file like this when fitting threaded pipe ends, deburring cut conduit, cleaning burrs from sheet metal edges, or fitting mechanical components during installation or repair. The bastard cut is the standard choice when moderate stock removal is needed before finishing with a finer cut. The flat profile works on flat and convex surfaces and fits into most general bench-filing scenarios.

Key Features

• Double-cut tooth pattern for fast, aggressive stock removal
• Bastard cut coarseness — standard for general-purpose material shaping
• Flat profile works on flat and convex work surfaces
• 16-inch cutting length provides leverage for efficient strokes on larger workpieces
• Tang end accepts standard replacement file handles
• Non-flexible construction for consistent cutting control

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern flat file compatible with standard file handles sold separately. Suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and other hard materials in bench-filing and hand-filing applications.

Installation Notes

File work is performed by hand and does not require power tools or trade licensing, but proper technique and personal protective equipment — including safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves — are recommended. Always fit a secure handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries from an exposed tang. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool.
