Value Collection SC82331307 Half Round Bastard Cut File 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82331307 is a 4-inch American-pattern half round file with a bastard cut and single cut configuration. This hand file is designed for shaping, smoothing, and deburring metal and other materials. The half round profile gives the user two working surfaces: a flat face for general filing and a curved face for working inside radii and contoured surfaces. At 0.16 inches thick and 5.34 inches overall length, it is a compact tool suited for close-tolerance hand work. The tang end accepts a standard file handle. Machinists, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This file is intended for bench work and hand filing tasks in industrial, maintenance, and shop environments. The bastard cut provides a medium-coarse tooth pattern appropriate for rapid material removal before finishing passes. The single cut pattern produces smoother chips and is effective on harder materials. Typical applications include deburring drilled holes, fitting keyways, dressing mating surfaces, and shaping non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, and plastics. The compact 4-inch cut length makes it well suited for detail work and confined areas where a longer file would be difficult to control.

Installation Notes

Always seat the file firmly onto a properly sized handle before use to prevent the tang from causing hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction. Never use a file as a pry bar or hammer, as the hardened body is brittle and subject to fracture under lateral loads. Wear appropriate eye protection during all filing operations.
