Simonds 84243000 Precision File

The Simonds 84243000 is a double-cut Swiss pattern precision file designed for metalwork on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its narrow pillar profile and safe edges suit detail shaping in tight spaces. The natural finish body provides a rigid feel for controlled material removal. This tool serves technicians and hobbyists who need accurate hand finishing.

Ready to use from the box

The file arrives in a protective container and requires no assembly or adjustment before work begins. Its rigid construction resists flexing during use, reducing the chance of uneven cuts. The safe edges prevent accidental marking on adjacent surfaces. A common issue is clogging when used on soft metals, so regular cleaning with a file card maintains cutting efficiency.

Check material and workspace suitability

Verify that the workpiece material matches the listed applications of aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin. The 6 inch length without tang and 1/4 inch width determine reach into confined areas. Ensure your bench or vice offers enough clearance for the full stroke. The double-cut pattern produces a smooth finish but removes material slower than coarse alternatives.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the file is cutting correctly after first use?

The double-cut pattern on all four edges should produce smooth, even shavings on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin without chatter, confirming the 6 in pillar profile is engaged properly.

What comes in the box and is a handle supplied?

The file ships in a box with a natural finish body and safe edges; no handle is included, so a separate 6 in handle must be purchased for use.

Which finish number suits general workshop filing tasks?

Finish number 0 provides a smooth cut on the listed metals and the rigid 1/4 in wide, 9/64 in thick pillar shape handles routine bench work.
