Half-Round File for Machinists
The Simonds 73321500 is a 10 in American pattern machinists file with a half-round profile. Its double-cut faces and safe edges suit shaping aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin in workshop and garage tasks.
Rigid Steel Construction
The rigid file body has a natural finish and measures 15/16 in wide by 9/32 in thick. Second-cut coarseness delivers 25 to 31 teeth per inch across two cutting edges for controlled material removal without clogging.
Boxed for Storage
The file ships in a protective box that keeps the cutting surfaces clean and prevents damage during transport. No additional handles, cards or lubricants are included with the single-unit package.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 10 in half-round file in my tool storage and what step is often missed?
Place the file in a slotted tray or rack with the tang facing outward; the step often missed is leaving enough clearance so the 15/16 in wide body does not bind against adjacent tools.
What maintenance or replacement will the 73321500 file need later?
Clean the double-cut teeth with a file card after each use and apply a light oil film to the natural-finish body; replace the file once the 25–31 teeth per inch no longer remove material cleanly.
What limit appears first during sustained filing with the second-cut half-round file?
The safe edge stops cutting into shoulders first, so the 9/32 in thick profile loses its corner-holding ability before the rigid body shows any wear.
