Value Collection SC82696402 Mill File 4 Inch Single Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82696402 is a 4-inch American-pattern mill file with a single-cut, smooth-cut tooth configuration and a tang end for use with a standard file handle. Mill files are used for draw-filing flat surfaces, deburring metal edges, and finishing work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The file measures 0.1 inches thick and 5.3 inches overall length including the tang. Single-cut files remove material in one direction, producing a smoother finish than double-cut patterns. This file is a non-flexible, solid construction tool suited for bench work and on-site metal finishing tasks performed by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC technicians.

This mill file is appropriate for light stock removal and finishing passes on metal components such as pipe ends, valve seats, burr removal on fittings, and general metalwork in trade and light industrial settings. The smooth-cut rating makes it well suited for final finishing rather than aggressive material removal. The tang configuration requires a separate file handle, which should be seated securely before use. It is sold individually and is appropriate for professional tool kits where a compact 4-inch smooth-cut mill file is needed.

Installation Notes

Always seat the tang fully into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and accuracy. File in smooth, consistent strokes and avoid rocking the file, which can round edges unintentionally. Inspect the file for cracks or broken teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
