Simonds 73562000 6 in Double Extra Slim Taper Saw File

SKU CH-2VZS-XS5EQ

A 6-inch double extra slim taper saw file with a single-cut bastard profile for sharpening saw teeth on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin

  • Precision filing on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin
  • Single-cut faces and edges leave a smooth finish on hard metals
  • 59 to 70 teeth per inch give fine control for detailed work
  • Rigid rectangular profile holds shape under pressure
  • Tapers toward the point for access in tight spaces

Simonds 6 in Double Extra Slim Taper Saw File

This Simonds machinists file is designed for shaping and smoothing metal surfaces. It suits metalworkers, machinists and toolmakers who need a precise hand tool for detail work on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. The rectangular profile and tapered point allow access to confined areas.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a non-powered hand tool, the file produces no heat, noise or electrical draw during use. Performance depends entirely on the operator's technique and the workpiece material. The rigid body and natural finish provide consistent feedback without vibration from a motor.

6 in length with 59 to 70 teeth per inch

The 6 in file length without tang and a tooth count of 59 to 70 teeth per inch define the cutting fineness and reach. Buyers who need a coarser bastard cut for rapid stock removal or a longer file for broader strokes should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Simonds 73562000 6 in file correctly, and what step do people get wrong?

Mount a handle on the tang, align the single-cut faces to the work direction, and push only on the forward stroke; the common error is applying pressure on the return stroke, which dulls the 59 to 70 teeth per inch.

What maintenance or replacement will the Simonds 73562000 6 in file need later?

Clean the 59 to 70 TPI teeth with a file card after each use, store dry to prevent rust on the natural finish, and replace the file once the bastard-cut edges no longer remove material from steel or brass.

What limit shows up first when using the Simonds 73562000 6 in file under sustained use?

The 59 to 70 teeth per inch on the single-cut faces wear down first, reducing bite on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel, and tin until the file slides instead of cutting.
