Simonds 8in Swiss Pillar File

The Simonds 84264000 is a precision file built for metalworkers who need a narrow profile on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel or tin. Its Swiss pattern and smooth cut finish remove material with control rather than aggression. The 8in length without tang gives reach for bench tasks while the rigid body resists flex during use. This tool suits detail fitting where a standard file is too wide.

Double-cut faces with safe edges

The file carries a double-cut pattern on its faces and safe edges that protect adjacent surfaces from scoring. A taper in thickness helps the tool enter tight slots without binding. Four cut edges work together on the 5/16in width to maintain an even surface across the workpiece. Finish number 0 confirms the coarseness level for fine smoothing passes.

Rigid steel body runs cool by hand

Hand filing produces negligible heat so the natural finish steel stays at ambient temperature during normal sessions. No powered vibration means noise is limited to the light rasp of teeth on metal. The insulated handle is absent, so the user feels direct feedback from the cut. An 8in handle length balances the tool for steady pressure without fatigue.

Questions about this item

What does the 8 in length mean when I use this file on a workpiece?

The 8 in length is the file body without the tang, giving you that much cutting surface for each stroke on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel or tin.

How does the Swiss pattern and double-cut face affect material removal?

The Swiss pattern with double-cut faces on all four edges produces a smooth cut on the listed metals while the safe edges protect adjacent surfaces.

What does the 9/64 in thickness and 5/16 in width require for storage or handling?

The slim 9/64 in by 5/16 in profile fits in standard tool boxes or the supplied box and needs no special mounting hardware.
