Simonds 8-inch Double-Cut Aluminum File

The Simonds 73275000 is an American pattern machinist file designed for aluminium work. Its rectangular profile and rigid construction suit shaping and smoothing tasks on non-ferrous metals. The double-cut faces and single-cut edges provide controlled material removal. It is a hand tool for bench or field use.

Smooth cut with 15 24 52 teeth per inch

The smooth coarseness rating means the file handles finishing passes on aluminium without clogging quickly. Four cut edges give multiple working surfaces before the file needs cleaning. The tooth counts indicate the density of cuts across the faces and edges. Very aggressive stock removal will load the teeth faster than a bastard or second cut file.

Natural finish body in boxed storage

The file body has a natural finish without coating, measuring 13/16 inch wide and 9/64 inch thick. It tapers toward the point for detail access in confined areas. The 8-inch length excludes the tang, which fits a standard handle. The cardboard box protects the teeth during storage and transport.

Questions about this item

Will the 8in double-cut file fit in a standard 13/16in tool drawer?

The file width is 13/16 in and the thickness is 9/64 in, so it matches common drawer slots.

How do I confirm the 15, 24, 52 teeth-per-inch pattern is cutting correctly?

A smooth, consistent shaving action on aluminium with no clogging shows the double-cut faces and single-cut edges are working.

Does the natural-finish box include a handle or must I buy one separately?

The container is a plain box; the file ships without a tang handle, so you will need to supply your own.
