Simonds 84260500 Extra Narrow Pillar File tool storage

SKU CH-7AF2-PHBMC

Holds a 6-inch extra-narrow Swiss-pattern pillar file with smooth double-cut faces and safe edges

  • Precision filing on aluminium, brass and steel with Swiss-pattern double-cut teeth
  • Safe edges protect adjacent surfaces during detailed work
  • Tapered thickness improves access in tight spaces
  • Natural finish resists corrosion without coating
  • Rigid 6-inch body delivers control for fine material removal

Simonds 84260500 Precision Pillar File

The Simonds 84260500 is a precision pillar file designed for fine metal finishing. It features a double-cut face and safe edges on a rigid, tapered body. The 6-inch file length without tang and 6-inch handle provide balanced control for detailed work on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin.

Suited for detail metalwork and model finishing

This file suits jewellers, instrument makers and modellers who need a smooth cut on narrow profiles. The 3/16-inch width and 1/8-inch thickness limit material removal rate. Buyers needing rapid stock removal or wider surface coverage should look at larger hand files instead.

Verify material compatibility and workspace access

Confirm the workpiece material matches the listed applications of aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Ensure the narrow 3/16-inch width can reach the features you intend to file. The rigid, non-insulated handle requires a secure grip for safe operation.

Questions about this item

What handle or tang adapter is needed to use the 6 in file body?

The file has a 6 in tang; a standard 6 in file handle that accepts a tapered tang fits directly without an adapter.

Will the 1/8 in thick, 3/16 in wide profile reach into the same tight slots as my older pillar files?

Yes — the extra-narrow pillar profile matches traditional dimensions, so it enters the same narrow slots while the safe edges protect adjacent surfaces.

How can I confirm the smooth double-cut finish is performing correctly on steel?

A clean, shiny surface with fine, even grooves and no tear-out on steel indicates the smooth double-cut is working as intended.
