Value Collection SC82932575 Square File 4 Inch Smooth

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82932575 is a square American-pattern file designed for precision metalworking, deburring, and surface finishing tasks. This file features a double cut pattern and a smooth cut coarseness rating, making it well suited for finish work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The cutting surface runs 4 inches in length, with an overall length of 5.27 inches including the tang. The tang end accepts a standard file handle (sold separately). At 0.16 inches thick, the profile is compact enough to work in narrow slots and keyways. Licensed tradespeople and skilled machinists rely on this style of file for tight-tolerance hand finishing.

This file is used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments where hand filing is required to fit, debur, or refine metal components. The square cross-section allows work on slots, grooves, square openings, and internal corners. The smooth cut double pattern removes material efficiently while leaving a refined surface finish. It is a standard bench file for tool-and-die work, general machining shops, millwright applications, and field maintenance by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians who need to dress metal edges or clean threads.

Key Features

• Square profile accesses slots, keyways, and internal corners that round files cannot reach
• Double cut pattern on all four faces for efficient material removal
• Smooth cut coarseness for finish-quality surface results
• 4-inch length of cut with a 5.27-inch overall length including tang
• Tang end compatible with standard file handles
• Non-flexible construction for consistent, controlled strokes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern square file suitable for general hand-filing applications on metal workpieces in shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang with a properly sized file handle before use to prevent injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and avoid slippage. File in one direction using forward strokes; lift the file on the return stroke to reduce wear on the teeth. Clean file teeth regularly with a file card or brush to prevent pinning and maintain cut efficiency.
