Precision Half-Round File
The Simonds 84137500 is a 6-inch Swiss-pattern precision file designed for shaping curved surfaces and corners. Its half-round profile and double-cut faces suit detailed work on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. The safe edges protect adjacent surfaces during use.
Sustained Filing Performance
The rigid body and smooth-cut finish maintain consistent material removal during extended sessions without loading quickly. Double-cut geometry on two edges keeps cutting action steady across aluminum, brass and steel. The taper toward the point allows controlled pressure in tight radii.
Manual Tool Limitations
As a hand file, material removal rate depends entirely on user force and stroke frequency rather than a powered standard. The 6-inch length and 5/8-inch width limit reach into deep cavities or across wide surfaces. The box container provides basic storage but no organisation system for multiple tools.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the 84137500 file produce during all-day use?
The file is a hand tool with no motor or electronics, so it generates no heat and makes only the sound of filing.
What handle must I already own to use this 6in Swiss pattern file?
The file ships without a handle; you need a separate file handle that fits the tang.
Will the 84137500 file damage softer metals on older tooling?
Its smooth double-cut face removes material cleanly on aluminium, brass and bronze without gouging.
