Precision Swiss-Pattern Pillar File

The Simonds 84242500 is a 6in double-cut precision file designed for smoothing aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its rigid pillar profile and safe edges suit bench work where controlled material removal matters. The natural-finish body comes boxed and ready for workshop storage.

Before Ordering Check Compatibility

Verify that a 6in Swiss-pattern file with a 1/4in width and 9/64in thickness fits the detail scale of your intended tasks. Confirm the double-cut smooth finish matches the surface quality you need on non-ferrous and ferrous metals. Ensure your workflow does not require insulated handles or a different coarseness grade.

Rigid Build and Safe-Edge Handling

The rigid construction resists flex during push strokes, while safe edges protect adjacent surfaces when filing into corners or slots. A natural finish reduces glare without coating buildup. The supplied box keeps the cutting faces protected between uses in a tool chest or drawer.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a handle or just the file blank?

The file ships in a box with a 6 in handle already fitted, so no separate handle purchase is needed.

Which finish number should I choose for the smoothest cut on brass?

Finish number 0 is the smoothest cut available in this double-cut Swiss pattern file.

What does the 6 in length mean when I am filing inside a narrow slot?

The 6 in file length without tang gives you that much working surface before the handle starts, useful for reaching into tight spaces.
