ISO 9002 Certified Quality System
The Simonds Red-Tang file is one of the most respected
symbols of quality and reliability in the marketplace today.
Our American Pattern file range is the most thorough, and, if
you don't find what you need in our catalog, we manufacture
more "specials" than anyone else in the world.
American Pattern files are divided into two categories -
Machinists' or Engineer's Files, which are generally double
cut for rapid stock removal, and Saw Files, which are
generally single cut for smoother finishes. There are three
cut grades to choose from - Bastard, or coarse, Second Cut, or
medium, and Smooth, or fine grade.
Additionally, we offer two finishes - the standard
"gray" file and our premium Black Maxi-Sharp®
files. The exclusive Black Maxi Sharp® finish extends file
life due to increase resistance to loading and rust.
Simonds also produces a full range of Rasps for
woodworking. Rasps differ from standard American Pattern files
in that each tooth is individually punched for uniformity and
sharpness, allowing quick removal of material.
Selection of the proper file is based on its shape, the
desired finish, and the type of material being filed. The file
shapes, or types, that are available are:

Exclusive Features that set Simonds apart from the rest
 |
Wavy
Teeth - a unique design featuring tooth
spacing similar to a variable tooth hacksaw blade
(coarse - to fine - to extra fine) that enables
material to be removed faster while providing a
smoother finish without "chattering".
Files will last longer due to this unique Simonds
feature. Wavy Teeth are standard on all Simonds
double-cut files, except rounds. |
| Multi-Kut®
- Known as the world's most versatile file because
it combines the uses of flat and mill files. The
coarse teeth allow material to be removed fast (like
a flat file) and the double chip-breaker design
generates a smooth finish (like a mill file). |
 |
 |
Spiral Half Round - A
built-in "twist & roll" action on the
half round side leaves a super smooth finish on
concave surfaces, while allowing a more natural
filing motion in use. The flat side is available
with the Multi-Kut® for a wider range of
applications. Best of all . . . its easy to use.

| Black
Maxi-Sharp® - The Premium line of hand
files! Specially treated with a black oxide coating,
Simonds Black Maxi-Sharp® files last longer due to
increased resistance to loading and rust. |
