Value Collection SC82932716 Taper File Single Cut 8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC82932716 is a double extra slim taper American-pattern file designed for precision material removal in tight grooves, slots, and narrow workpieces. With an 8-inch length of cut and an overall length of 9.75 inches, this file features a single-cut tooth pattern that produces a smoother finish and requires less pressure than double-cut files. The tang-style end accepts a standard file handle. It measures 0.33 inches at its thickest point, making it well suited for fine fitting work in metal, and is rigid rather than flexible. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically keep this profile in their tool kit for deburring and fitting operations.

This taper file is used in applications where a slim profile is needed to reach restricted areas such as keyways, dovetail slots, narrow notches, and threaded components. It is appropriate for use on ferrous metals and other hard materials where controlled, single-direction cutting strokes are preferred. The double extra slim taper geometry allows access to spaces that standard or slim taper files cannot reach.

Key Features

• Double extra slim taper profile for access to narrow slots and tight clearances
• Single-cut tooth pattern for smoother finish and controlled material removal
• 8-inch length of cut with 9.75-inch overall length
• 0.33-inch maximum thickness for slim fitment in restricted spaces
• Tang end compatible with standard replacement file handles
• Rigid construction — not flexible — for consistent stroke control

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern taper file for use with any compatible tang-style file handle sold separately; suitable for general metalworking, maintenance, and fitting applications.

Installation Notes

File handles are not included and should be fitted securely to the tang before use to prevent injury. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal. File in the forward cutting stroke only; lifting on the return stroke extends tooth life. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and reduce the risk of slippage.
