Value Collection SC82331448 Half Round File Single Cut 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82331448 is a 4-inch American-pattern half round file with a single cut and smooth coarseness rating. It is designed for deburring, smoothing, and shaping metal and other materials in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. The half round profile provides two working surfaces: a flat face for broad stock removal and a curved face for concave contours and slots. At 0.16 inches thick and 5.34 inches in overall length including the tang, this file delivers controlled material removal suited to close-tolerance finishing work. Installation is handled by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians.

This file is well suited to bench work and field repair tasks where precise hand filing is required. The smooth cut grade makes it appropriate for finishing passes on soft metals, plastics, and non-ferrous materials rather than aggressive stock removal. The tang end accepts a standard file handle, which should be fitted before use. Typical applications include deburring pipe ends, fitting keyways, cleaning threads, and smoothing weld seams in light fabrication and maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides flat and curved cutting surfaces in a single tool
• Single cut, smooth coarseness for controlled finishing and light stock removal
• 4-inch length of cut suited to detail and close-tolerance hand filing
• Tang end compatible with standard file handles
• Non-flexible construction for rigid, consistent filing pressure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern half round file compatible with universal file handles sold separately for tang-style files.

Installation Notes

File handles should always be installed on the tang before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and reduce fatigue. Apply forward stroke pressure only, lifting the file on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Inspect the file periodically for clogging and use a file card or brush to clear debris from the teeth.
