Value Collection SC80760515 Square File 14 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC80760515 is a 14-inch square American-pattern file designed for material removal, shaping, and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. It features a double cut pattern with a bastard coarseness grade, making it effective for aggressive stock removal in general-purpose filing work. The file measures 5/8 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick along its cutting length, with a tang end for use with a compatible file handle. It is a rigid, non-flexible file suited to bench work and hand filing operations in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

This file is intended for use in metalworking, fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. The square cross-section allows access to slots, keyways, square holes, and internal corners where flat or round files cannot reach. The bastard cut double pattern works well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople commonly use this type of file for deburring, fitting, and surface preparation tasks.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced tradesperson should always secure a properly fitted handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and replace if the teeth are worn smooth or the body is compromised. Do not use this file on hardened steel harder than the file itself, as this will rapidly dull the cutting teeth.
