12-inch Double-Cut Aluminum File

The Simonds 73276000 is a 12-inch American pattern machinist's file designed for smoothing aluminum surfaces. Its rectangular profile and double-cut face with single-cut edges provide controlled material removal for fitting and finishing tasks.

Boxed for Protection and Organization

The file ships in a box that protects the 15, 24, and 41 teeth-per-inch cutting surfaces from damage during transport. This packaging also allows the tool to be stored neatly in a toolbox or drawer without snagging other equipment.

12-Inch Length Determines Reach and Control

The 12-inch body length sets the stroke distance and leverage available for each filing pass. Shorter files offer more precision in tight areas, while longer files cover larger flat surfaces faster.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 in double-cut file need replacement once the 15, 24 and 41 teeth-per-inch surfaces wear down?

The file is rigid with a natural finish; when the double-cut faces and single-cut edges dull from aluminum work, the tool is replaced rather than resharpened.

What limits continuous use on aluminum — clogging of the double-cut teeth or handle fatigue?

The 15, 24 and 41 TPI double-cut faces load with soft aluminum first, reducing cutting action before the rigid 7/32 in thick body or tang shows stress.

Does the 12 in file generate noticeable heat or vibration during all-day hand filing?

Hand filing produces only modest frictional warmth at the 1 3/16 in wide faces; no powered vibration or electrical draw is involved.
