Value Collection SC84645837 Triangle File 10 in Smooth

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC84645837 is a 10-inch triangle (three-square) American-pattern file with a smooth cut and double-cut tooth pattern. Designed for precision filing work on internal angles, slots, and narrow surfaces, this file suits metalworking and maintenance tasks requiring fine material removal. At 0.59 inches thick and 12.09 inches overall length, it provides solid reach and control. A tang end allows the user to fit a standard file handle for improved grip and safety. No flexible construction, making it rigid for consistent, controlled strokes on hard materials.

This triangle file is used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and general maintenance environments where tight internal corners, V-grooves, or angular slots require precise hand filing. The smooth cut rating makes it appropriate for finishing passes and light material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Trades commonly using this file include machinists, tool-and-die workers, pipefitters, and general maintenance mechanics working on metal components and fittings.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern triangle file suitable for general metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance filing applications where a 10-inch smooth-cut double-cut file is specified.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or trained maintenance mechanic typically fits this file with an appropriate handle before use — never operate a tang file without a properly seated handle, as the exposed tang presents a puncture hazard. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety protocols including eye protection when filing metal. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and replace if the teeth are worn smooth.
