I like thr compact size, and only wish that these types of files were not smooth towards the very tip
Good size, great for refined work and sharpening
The 6-in Single-cut Smooth Tooth Mill File is my first single-cut file and I am impressed on how well it works for refining your cuts or sharpening your knifes. The file grooves are really fine, yet if pressed hard on the work piece very aggressive – they’ll smooth out any burrs from your cutting work. The 6 inch length feels the better choice for fine work - it’s not too long, neither too short, allowing for good strokes, working the entire blade’s surface and getting the job done quick. I us...
This is a great file for the money!
This product is aggressive. Which is what i was looking for. Still narrow for precise jobs.
Solid product
Worked perfectly. Had to drill holes in aluminum
Small and Effective
The Kobalt 6” Smooth Mill File is a small file but very effective. I made a countertop in my laundry room out of melamine and added an iron on PVC taped edge. This little file is just the right size to control the angle of the bevel to make a smooth edge even with the countertop. A bigger file sometimes bites into the tape and either puts a mat into the tape or the top. This little file was easy to manipulate so that the edges were perfectly smooth when finished. The smaller size is great for st...
Great file
Got it to sharpen my hedge trimmer blades. It has made it like new.
Good quality for the price. I would buy rhis brand
Well made file. Cuts easy for filing aluminum. Removed burrs on the metal as expected.
Nice File for Sanding Trim Edges
Used to clean up the burr on some of the crown molding I was working with
6" Single-cut Smooth Tooth Mill file
I received a 6" single-cut Smooth Tooth Mill file. Files come is several grades ranging from smooth, second cut, b***, and course. This is a rather small file, which makes it easy to use for small jobs. It produced a clean, smooth finish on a cast iron part I was working on. The teeth are easy to clean with a wire file brush. I didn't like the packaging that included some sort of plastic wrap that was difficult to remove. On the plus side, the packaging indicates the file has a lifetime wa...
Great add to my toolbox!
Received the product but it was not the "advertized" file, it was a "fine tooth" file. I needed a fine tooth file so this worked out for me. The overall working length of 5" was great and I liked that the sides of the file also had teeth cut into it allowing use in narrow spaces. One drawback was that the file did not have any tang protection (required to use on a drill press or lathe). I installed my own tang protector and it works great. Thank You!
