Simonds Warding File Second Cut 8inL

The Simonds 73483000 is a rectangular American-pattern warding file with a double-cut face and single-cut edges. Its exclusive wavy tooth design works on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. The file body has a natural finish and tapers toward the point. It is supplied in a box for storage.

Installing and using the file

The rigid file measures 8 inches without the tang and is 13/16 inch wide by 3/32 inch thick. Four cut edges provide multiple working surfaces. Teeth per inch vary across the file at 32, 34, 49 and 53 counts. Apply even pressure on the forward stroke and keep the file clean to prevent clogging on softer metals.

Sustained filing performance

The second-cut coarseness balances material removal with surface finish during extended use. The rigid body resists flexing when pressure is maintained on steel or bronze workpieces. The wavy tooth pattern helps clear filings continuously so cutting action remains consistent. Natural finish on the body resists corrosion during long sessions.

Questions about this item

How can I tell the Simonds 73483000 warding file is working as intended after I start using it?

The file should remove material smoothly from aluminum, brass, bronze, steel, and tin with its exclusive wavy tooth design and double-cut faces. You will feel consistent resistance across the 13/16 in wide rectangular faces and 3/32 in thick edges as the 32, 34, 49, or 53 teeth per inch engage the workpiece.

What comes in the box with the Simonds 73483000 and what must I buy separately?

The file ships in a box as a single 8 in long rigid tool with a natural finish. No handles, handle ferrules, or additional accessories are included, so you will need to purchase a compatible file handle separately if you prefer one.

Which version of the Simonds 73483000 warding file should I choose for my application?

This model is offered in a single configuration: second cut coarseness, American pattern style, rectangular profile, double-cut faces, single-cut edges, four cut edges, and a taper toward the point. Choose it when you need that exact combination for precision ward or keyway work.
