Simonds

Simonds 73429000 Square File Smooth Double 6in tool storage

SKU CH-NRG8-M7MSR

Square file with smooth double-cut teeth for aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin

  • Smooth double-cut leaves fine finish on steel
  • 58–61 teeth per inch remove material with control
  • Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces during filing
  • Square 6-inch profile reaches tight corners
  • Wavy-tooth design reduces clogging on soft metals

Square File Smooth Double 6in Tool Storage

This Simonds machinists file is designed for metalworkers and tradespeople who need precise material removal on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. The square profile and double-cut faces suit shaping slots, keyways and internal corners in a workshop or garage environment.

Double-Cut Teeth Limits Practical Use

With 58 to 61 teeth per inch the smooth cut leaves a finer finish than bastard or second cuts, but it removes material more slowly. The safe edges protect adjacent surfaces, yet the rigid taper toward the point restricts access in deep or blind recesses.

6in Length Decides Fit for the Job

The file body measures six inches without the tang and maintains a consistent quarter-inch square cross-section. Buyers needing longer stroke lengths or coarser stock removal should select a different file specification.

Questions about this item

Which Simonds square file should I choose for smooth finishing on steel and aluminium?

The 73429000 is a 6 in smooth-cut, double-cut machinist's file with safe edges and wavy teeth, designed for aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin.

What does the 58–61 teeth-per-inch rating mean when I am filing a workpiece?

It indicates a smooth-cut American-pattern file that removes material evenly while leaving a fine surface on the metals listed.

How does the double-cut, safe-edge design affect use on flat and corner surfaces?

Double-cut faces cut on both diagonals for faster stock removal; safe edges prevent marring adjacent faces when filing into corners.
