Simonds Swiss Pattern Precision File

The Simonds 84138500 is a 6-inch half-round precision file designed for shaping curved surfaces and corners. Its Swiss pattern construction provides a smooth, double-cut finish on materials including aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. The rigid tool tapers toward the point and features safe edges to protect adjacent surfaces during detailed work.

Metalworkers needing smooth contour finishing

This file suits professionals and hobbyists refining radii, internal curves and tight corners on non-ferrous and ferrous metals. The Number 2 coarseness delivers a smooth surface ready for final finishing. Buyers who need rapid stock removal or coarse shaping should look at a different cut grade, as this tool is calibrated for precision rather than aggressive material removal.

Half-round profile with double-cut faces

The half-round profile combined with double-cut faces on both the flat and curved sides is the specification that determines suitability. This geometry allows the file to address both convex and concave surfaces efficiently while the safe edges prevent unwanted marking. If the workpiece requires a flat, round, or single-cut profile, this file will not match the application.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 in half-round file fit in the same tool drawer as my 8 in flat files?

The file body is 6 in long and 5/8 in wide, so it occupies less length than an 8 in flat file while adding only modest width.

How can I confirm the double-cut surface is producing a smooth finish on aluminium?

Run the file across a test piece of aluminium; a clean, consistent sheen with fine, even scratches shows the No 2 finish is working as intended.

Does the box include a handle or do I need to buy one separately?

The file ships in a box with no handle attached; a separate 6 in file handle must be purchased if you prefer one.
