Value Collection SC82331372 Half Round File 4 Inch Second Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82331372 is a 4-inch half round American-pattern file designed for general metalworking, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. The single cut pattern produces a smoother finish than a double cut file, making it well suited for draw filing and fine material removal. At 0.16 inches thick and 5.34 inches in overall length including the tang, this is a compact, lightweight file weighing 0.638 pounds. The second-cut coarseness sits between bastard and smooth, giving tradespeople a versatile middle-ground option for shaping and finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials.

This file is used in trade and shop environments where controlled material removal is required on curved or flat surfaces. The half round profile handles both flat work on the rectangular face and curved or radius work on the rounded face. Machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance personnel commonly keep files of this type in their service kits for field deburring of cut pipe, cleaning up valve seats, and fitting metal components. The tang style requires a separate file handle, which is sold separately.

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern half round file compatible with standard file handles sized for 4-inch files. No specific OEM equipment compatibility is defined for this product.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper file handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injuries from an exposed tang point. File in one direction only, applying pressure on the forward stroke and lifting on the return to preserve tooth life. Keep the file clean of metal filings using a file card or wire brush during use. Files are hardened tools and should not be used on hardened steel surfaces that exceed their rated hardness, as tooth damage will result.
