Warding File for Precision Metalwork
The Simonds 73479500 Warding File is a 4-inch American pattern tool designed for filing narrow slots and keyways in aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its rectangular profile tapers toward the point, allowing access to confined spaces where standard flat files cannot reach. This double-cut file serves machinists, locksmiths and maintenance technicians who need controlled material removal in tight internal areas.
Rigid Natural Finish with Wavy Tooth Design
The file body features a natural finish and rigid construction measuring 3/64 inch thick by 3/8 inch wide. Double-cut faces combined with single-cut edges and an exclusive wavy tooth pattern promote efficient chip clearance and a smoother surface finish on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Supplied in a protective box, the tool resists corrosion and remains ready for bench or field use without additional storage requirements.
Consistent Cutting Action Across Tooth Densities
Available tooth densities of 42, 46, 66 and 72 teeth per inch allow selection for specific material hardness and desired finish quality. The second-cut coarseness balances stock removal rate with surface smoothness for general-purpose ward work. Manual operation eliminates vibration and noise concerns, while the rigid taper ensures stable engagement without deflection during normal filing strokes.
