Precision File for Metalwork

The Simonds 84400500 barrette file is designed for precision shaping of aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its Swiss pattern construction and double-cut faces provide controlled material removal for detailed fitting and finishing tasks. The rigid, tapered profile reaches into confined spaces where larger files cannot operate effectively.

Smooth Cut and Safe Edges

The number 0 coarseness delivers a smooth cut surface suitable for fine finishing work on non-ferrous and ferrous metals alike. Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces from unintended marking during side filing operations. The natural finish body resists corrosion without adding coatings that could contaminate sensitive workpieces.

Sustained Hand Filing Performance

The 6 inch file length without tang and 5/32 inch thickness maintain rigidity during extended use, preventing flex that would degrade accuracy. Double-cut geometry retains cutting efficiency over long sessions without loading excessively on softer alloys. The 11/16 inch width offers sufficient surface contact for consistent stroke control throughout the job.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Simonds 84400500 barrette file and what step is often missed?

The file is a hand tool that requires no installation; simply select it for the material and apply even strokes, remembering the safe edges are uncut and must not be used for filing.

What maintenance or replacement will the Simonds 84400500 barrette file need later?

Keep the 6 in double-cut faces clean with a file card and store in the supplied box to prevent corrosion; replace the file when the smooth-cut teeth no longer remove material efficiently.

What limit appears first on the Simonds 84400500 barrette file during sustained use?

The smooth double-cut teeth on the 11/16 in wide faces dull before the rigid 5/32 in thick body shows any wear, so cutting performance drops first.
