Simonds Extra Slim Taper Saw File
The Simonds 73550500 Extra Slim Taper Saw File is a hand tool designed for sharpening and maintaining saw blades. It suits woodworkers, tradespeople and DIY users who need to keep 60-degree angled saw teeth in working order. The 8 in. length provides reach for various saw sizes while the natural finish helps maintain grip during use.
Triangular file geometry limits
The triangular profile with single cut edges is made specifically for 60 degree angle teeth and cannot sharpen other tooth geometries effectively. The extra slim taper allows access to tight gullets but removes less material per stroke than wider files. Single cut teeth produce a smoother finish but cut slower than double cut alternatives.
60 degree tooth compatibility
This file only matches saws with 60 degree angle teeth so it will not work on saws with different tooth angles. Buyers who need to sharpen Japanese pull saws, crosscut saws with alternative geometries or other non 60 degree blades must choose a different file profile. The 73550500 model number identifies this specific extra slim taper variant.
