SKU CH-0166-1C6ZM

Swiss-pattern round precision file with double-cut faces and edges for enlarging holes in metal

  • Precision Swiss pattern for accurate shaping

  • Smooth cut finish leaves clean surfaces
  • Tapered round profile reaches into holes
  • Rigid 6 in steel body resists bending

Precision File for Metalwork

The Simonds 84160000 is a Swiss-pattern precision file designed for enlarging and rounding out holes in aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its rigid, double-cut profile removes material with a smooth finish suited to fine fitting and finishing tasks. The 6-inch length and tapered round body provide controlled access in confined spaces. It is supplied in a protective box.

Replaces Worn or Coarser Files

Switch to this file when an existing round file has lost its cutting edges or when a bastard or second cut leaves marks that require excessive polishing. The Number 1 smooth cut bridges the gap between rapid stock removal and final surface preparation. The jump is worth it when hole accuracy and finish quality outweigh raw speed.

Handles Small-Diameter Hole Work

The quarter-inch diameter and matching width allow entry into tight bores and curved channels where larger files cannot reach. Four double-cut edges maintain consistent engagement around the circumference for uniform enlargement. Rigidity prevents flex during push strokes, preserving geometry. The tool runs out of reach in deep or blind holes beyond the working length of the file body.

Questions about this item

What size storage box does the 6 in round file come in?

The file ships in a standard box designed for a 6 in long tool with a 1/4 in diameter.

How should I secure the Swiss pattern file in a tool chest?

Place the rigid, tapered file flat in a slotted tray or magnetic holder so the double-cut edges cannot roll.

When will the smooth-cut teeth need replacing?

Replace the file once the double-cut surfaces no longer enlarge or round out holes cleanly in steel or brass.
