Value Collection SC80759616 Half Round File 16 Inch Bastard Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC80759616 is a 16-inch American-pattern half round file built for shaping, deburring, and stock removal in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. This file features a double cut pattern with a bastard coarseness grade, making it effective for fast material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The half round profile provides two working surfaces: a flat face for general filing and a curved face for contoured or concave work. Overall width measures 1-15/32 inches and thickness measures 15/32 inches. A tang end is included for use with a standard file handle. This tool is typically used by machinists, pipefitters, and general maintenance tradespeople.

The SC80759616 is suited for shop and field applications where aggressive stock removal is needed on flat, curved, or irregular surfaces. The bastard cut and double cut pattern work together to clear chips quickly and maintain consistent cutting action. Common applications include cleaning up weld seams, deburring pipe ends, shaping soft metals, and fitting mechanical components. The 16-inch length provides ample working leverage for larger workpieces.

Installation Notes

File use requires a properly fitted handle attached to the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Files should be used with a forward cutting stroke and lifted on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Do not use a file on a surface that has been previously hardened beyond the file's rated hardness.
