Precision File for Metalworking
The Simonds 84159500 is a Swiss-pattern round file designed for precision metalworking tasks. It suits machinists, toolmakers and hobbyists who need accurate hole enlargement and rounding in non-ferrous and ferrous metals.
Double-Cut Smooth Finish
The single specification that decides fit is the double-cut smooth coarseness on a rigid 6in tapered body. This geometry removes material evenly while leaving a fine surface on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin.
Capacity and Limits
The 1/4in diameter profile handles small bores and curved profiles comfortably. It runs out on larger diameters or heavy stock removal where a coarser or wider file would be required.

Questions about this item
What does the 6 in length mean when I am filing a hole?
The 6 in measurement is the file body without the tang, giving you that much working surface to enlarge and round out holes in aluminum, brass, bronze, steel or tin.
How does the double-cut pattern affect material removal?
The double-cut face and edges on all four sides produce a smooth cut finish that removes material evenly while leaving a finer surface on the metals listed.
What clearance do I need for the 1/4 in diameter?
The file is 1/4 in thick and 1/4 in wide at its largest point, so the hole or slot must be at least that wide to accept the tool.
