Simonds 84356000 Swiss Pattern Three Square File

SKU CH-35CJ-8M2MS

Swiss-pattern triangular file with double-cut faces and single-cut edges for smooth finishing on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin

  • Swiss pattern precision for fine metal finishing
  • Double-cut faces remove material quickly on three edges
  • Triangular profile reaches corners and die details
  • Smooth cut grade leaves clean surfaces on steel and brass
  • Rigid 6-inch tapered body resists flex during use

Swiss Pattern Precision File

The Simonds 84356000 is a 6 inch Swiss pattern three square file designed for precision work on aluminum brass bronze steel and tin. Its triangular profile and double cut faces make it suitable for machinists toolmakers and hobbyists who need accurate material removal in tight corners and on dies. The rigid construction and taper towards the point provide control for detailed finishing tasks. This new file arrives in a protective box ready for workshop use.

Smooth Cut Limitations

The smooth cut coarseness limits aggressive stock removal so the file excels at finishing rather than rapid shaping. The double cut faces and single cut edges work best with light pressure on non ferrous metals and softer steels. Hardened materials or heavy deburring tasks will dull the teeth quickly and exceed the practical capability of this precision grade tool. Users should match the file to appropriate materials for optimal results.

Capacity and Headroom

The 3/8 inch width and thickness with three cutting edges handle internal angles slots and die work comfortably within the 6 inch working length. The rigid body maintains geometry during push strokes but the smooth cut fills quickly when used on gummy aluminum or brass requiring frequent cleaning. The file reaches its limit on wide flat surfaces or deep material removal where a larger bastard or second cut file would be more efficient.
