A 4-inch double-cut knife file for shaping aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin

  • Versatile material handling for aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin
  • Precise second-cut double-cut teeth at 53 to 62 teeth per inch
  • Compact 4-inch knife profile reaches tight slots and corners
  • Rigid rectangular body with three cutting edges for controlled stock removal
  • Natural finish preserves file geometry and resists corrosion during storage

Simonds Knife File 4in Second Cut

The Simonds 73499000 is a 4-inch American pattern knife file with a double-cut face and single-cut edges. Its rectangular profile tapers toward the point and has three cut edges. The natural-finish steel body is rigid and supplied in a box.

For shaping soft metals and tight angles

This file suits machinists and metalworkers who need to dress aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin in narrow slots or acute corners. The second-cut coarseness with 53 to 62 teeth per inch removes material quickly while leaving a usable surface. Buyers who want a finer finish for precision fitting or a heavier bastard cut for rapid stock removal should look at something else.

Check tang fit and workpiece clearance

Verify that your handle accepts the tapered tang on a 4-inch file. Confirm the 7/16-inch width and 5/64-inch thickness can reach the features you intend to file. Ensure the material you are working is listed among the recommended applications.

Questions about this item

Does the Simonds 73499000 knife file need a handle to work?

The file ships without a tang handle; you must supply a 4-inch file handle that fits the 5/64-inch thick rectangular tang before use.

Can the 4-inch Simonds 73499000 file share a handle with my older 6-inch files?

No; the 4-inch blade length and 7/16-inch width require a handle sized for this specific file, not for longer files.

How do I verify the Simonds 73499000 file is cutting correctly after I fit the handle?

Run the double-cut faces across aluminum or steel; the 53-to-62 teeth per inch should leave an even, smooth finish without skipping.
