Precision Knife File for Metal Finishing

The Simonds 73500500 is a 6-inch American pattern knife file designed for shaping and finishing aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its rectangular profile tapers toward the point with three cutting edges for detailed work in tight spaces. The natural finish body provides a secure grip during precision filing tasks. This tool suits metalworkers and hobbyists needing controlled material removal on non-ferrous and ferrous metals.

Verify Application and Coarseness Requirements

Confirm the second-cut double-cut face with single-cut edges matches your desired surface finish before ordering. The file offers teeth-per-inch counts of 40, 44, 54 and 58 across its cutting surfaces for varied aggression. Ensure the 5/8-inch width and 7/64-inch thickness suit the workpiece geometry and clearance you are working with. The rigid construction does not flex for contoured surfaces.

Consistent Cutting Under Extended Use

The rigid steel body maintains tooth geometry and cutting efficiency during prolonged filing sessions without deformation. Natural finish resists corrosion when used on reactive metals such as aluminium and brass over long periods. Double-cut face pattern clears chips effectively to prevent loading during sustained strokes. The tool is not suited for heavy stock removal requiring coarse bastard-cut files or powered equipment.

Questions about this item

What does the 73500500 knife file come with and what must be purchased separately?

The 73500500 knife file is supplied in a box as a single 6‑inch second‑cut tool. No handles, guards or additional accessories are included, so a compatible handle must be bought separately.

Which coarseness option should I choose for this 73500500 file?

This 73500500 model is offered only in a second‑cut configuration with double‑cut faces and single‑cut edges; the teeth‑per‑inch values of 40, 44, 54 and 58 describe that single grade rather than selectable alternatives.

What does the 40‑58 teeth‑per‑inch range mean when I use the file on steel?

The 40, 44, 54 and 58 teeth‑per‑inch figures indicate a fine second‑cut pitch that removes material smoothly on steel, brass, aluminium and other listed metals while leaving a surface ready for light finishing.
