Value Collection SC82932534 Slim Taper File Single Cut 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82932534 is a slim taper American-pattern file designed for deburring, sharpening, and finishing work in tight or narrow spaces. This single-cut file features a tapered profile that narrows toward the tip, making it well suited for filing saw teeth, slots, and grooves where a wider file cannot reach. The file measures 5 inches in length of cut and 6.44 inches overall, with a 1/4-inch width and 1/4-inch thickness. It terminates in a tang for use with a separately sourced handle. Weight is approximately 0.528 pounds.

This slim taper file is a standard hand tool used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general tradespeople for precision hand-filing tasks. Typical applications include sharpening hand saws and chainsaw files, cleaning up threaded fittings, dressing keyways, and removing burrs from cut pipe or sheet metal edges. The single-cut tooth pattern produces a smoother finish and is preferred when fine material removal and surface quality matter more than aggressive stock removal.

Installation Notes

Always seat a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise when practical to allow two-handed control of the file stroke. Files are cutting tools and should not be used on materials harder than the file itself, as this will damage the teeth. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged.
