Simonds 84225000 Pillar File

The Simonds 84225000 is a Swiss-pattern precision file designed for machinists and metalworkers who need controlled material removal on flat surfaces. Its double-cut faces and safe edges allow smooth finishing on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin without damaging adjacent shoulders. The rigid pillar profile and natural finish deliver consistent performance in professional workshop environments.

Six-inch rigid body fits bench work

The 6-inch file body without tang provides a compact reach that suits bench vise setups and tight workpieces, while the 1/2-inch width and 11/64-inch thickness keep the tool stable during push strokes. Safe edges let you file up to a shoulder without scoring it, freeing you from masking or secondary cleanup operations. Supplied in a protective box, it stores cleanly in a tool chest or drawer organiser.

Double-cut smoothness on listed alloys

The double-cut pattern produces a smooth finish on the specified alloys, giving enough cutting action for light stock removal while leaving a surface ready for polishing or assembly. It is not suited for heavy hogging on thick sections or for aggressive shaping of hardened tool steels beyond the listed materials. Buyers needing rapid bulk removal or files for curved profiles should select a different pattern.

  • Swiss pattern precision for accurate flat-surface work
  • Double-cut face removes material quickly on metal

Questions about this item

How does the double-cut pattern and 11/64 in thickness hold up when filing steel all day?

The double-cut Swiss pattern and rigid pillar profile are designed for smooth material removal on steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and tin, with the 11/64 in thickness providing stiffness that resists flex during extended use.

Will the natural finish and safe edges stay comfortable and cool during continuous hand filing?

The natural finish on the 6 in file body and safe edges reduce friction and heat buildup against the workpiece, while the rigid construction minimises vibration transmitted to the hand during all-day operation.

Does the 6 in handle length match standard Swiss-pattern file handles, or do I need a specific holder?

The 6 in handle length is integral to the file body and accepts standard Swiss-pattern file handles; no special holder or proprietary mounting hardware is required.
