Simonds 73549500 Extra Slim Taper Saw File

The Simonds 73549500 is a machinists file designed for precision work on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its triangular profile and single-cut faces suit tradespeople and hobbyists who need controlled material removal on hard metals. The rigid body and taper toward the point allow access to tight angles and acute corners. It is sold as a single unit in a box.

Bastard cut coarseness with 56 to 65 teeth per inch

The bastard cut coarseness delivers 56 to 65 teeth per inch across three single-cut edges. This tooth density removes material efficiently while leaving a smoother finish than rougher cuts on the listed metals. The natural finish on the file body resists corrosion during storage. The 17/64 inch thickness and 1/4 inch width keep the tool slim for detailed work.

Check tang fit and workpiece hardness before

Verify that your file handle accepts the tang on a 6 inch American pattern file. Confirm the metals you plan to file fall within aluminum, brass, bronze, steel or tin; harder alloys may dull the teeth quickly. Ensure you need a single-cut, triangular profile rather than a double-cut or flat alternative for your specific application.

Questions about this item

How long will the 65 teeth-per-inch edges stay sharp before the file needs replacing?

The 65 teeth-per-inch single-cut edges on this 6-inch triangular file wear gradually; replace the file once the teeth no longer remove material cleanly from aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin.

What stops me from using the 17/64-inch thick file continuously on hardened steel?

The bastard-cut single-cut profile is designed for softer metals such as aluminium, brass, bronze and tin; hardened steel will dull the 56 to 65 teeth-per-inch edges quickly.

Does the natural-finish steel body heat up during extended hand filing sessions?

The rigid 17/64-inch thick steel body conducts heat away from the cutting zone, so the file remains comfortable to hold during prolonged use on aluminium, brass or steel.
