Square file for machinists
The Simonds 73432000 is a 10 in American-pattern machinists file with a square profile and double-cut faces. Its four safe edges and rigid body suit metalworkers who need to enlarge square holes or dress internal corners on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin.
Fits a toolbox or bench drawer
At 10 in long and 3/8 in thick the file slides into standard tool storage without special racks. The wavy-tooth pattern clears swarf efficiently, reducing the need for frequent brushing and keeping the work area cleaner during extended filing sessions.
Consistent cutting under sustained use
The bastard-cut teeth at 16 and 20 teeth per inch maintain their bite when pressure is held over long strokes. Natural finish and no insulation mean heat transfers away from the hands, so the file stays controllable during repetitive production work.

Questions about this item
How long does the 10 in file stay sharp when used on steel all day?
The double-cut, wavy-tooth design with 16 to 20 teeth per inch removes material efficiently and resists loading on steel, extending edge life during sustained use.
Does the file generate noticeable heat or vibration during continuous filing?
The rigid, natural-finish body and safe edges keep vibration low and heat buildup minimal even during extended sessions on aluminum, brass or steel.
What handle or accessory is required before the file can be used?
The tang is exposed and uninsulated, so a separate file handle must be fitted before the tool is safe and comfortable to operate.
