Wooden Twist-On File Handle (Blue-Point®)

GA616 — Wooden Twist-On File Handle (Blue-Point®). Shape or finish suitable material by hand.

Applications and industries

Fabrication, tool-room work and maintenance workshops are potential users for appropriate hand-finishing tasks.

• Choose a file shape that reaches the surface, corner or opening.
• Then compare length and cut grade with the finish required.

These industry examples are selection guidance, not additional manufacturer approvals.

Features of GA616

• Wooden twist-on handle with case-hardened threaded-steel inserts
• For use on 10T, 10MA, 10HR and 12R files

Specifications and fit checks

• For Files: 10T, 10MA, 10HR, 12R
• Length, inches: 4-1/2

A round, flat and half-round file offer different contact shapes. Compare shape and cut rather than length alone.

GA616 selection checklist

For GA616, verify the required task, working range, interface dimensions and package contents against the official catalogue details. This final check helps prevent ordering a visually similar model with a different fit or capability.

Choosing GA616 for the task

Select the cutting or finishing geometry for the material and the surface that needs attention. A drill bit, saw blade, burr, file or abrasive has its own engagement pattern. Length, diameter, tooth form, cut grade and shank or attachment can each affect selection. Begin with the process and the required result, then compare the published tool details. A familiar overall shape does not establish the same cutting behaviour.

Next, check the host tool and the working space. A long cutter needs suitable access and support, while a different shank or blade fitting may require a different holder. Confirm the permitted operating conditions in the complete product instructions. For an assortment, identify the individual shapes or sizes needed before comparing set counts. A replacement consumable should match both the machine interface and the material requirement. Keep process settings separate from the catalogue description unless the manufacturer explicitly specifies them for the intended task.

Planning the workshop application

Define the intended job in practical terms before comparing options. Record the equipment or component involved, the operation to perform and the access available around it. Include the current tool or accessory if this purchase replaces an existing item. That context helps distinguish a size change from a different product function. It also makes the application and industry examples above easier to assess against the actual work.

Understanding the catalogue record

The official listing identifies this model as Wooden Twist-On File Handle (Blue-Point®). Its catalogue grouping is File Accessories / Wooden Twist-On Handles. Use that description to identify the product format, then read the individual specifications for the details that matter to the job. A category describes where the product sits in the range; it is not an additional compatibility approval.

For this record, the available specification labels include For Files; Length, inches. Read each value together with its label and unit. A drive size, external dimension and working range describe different things, even if their numbers look similar. If the job requires a value that is not listed, request that detail before ordering instead of estimating it from the photograph.

The catalogue country-of-origin field is USA. This field concerns the listed product origin; it does not identify local inventory, delivery time or the warranty terms of a Vietnam quotation. Confirm those commercial details separately.

Comparing options before ordering

The comparison above names GA617 and GA618. Review the displayed differences against the requirement for this job. Begin with function and compatibility, then compare access, configuration and included components. If the names differ by size, drive, colour or kit format, identify which difference matters before making a choice. Similar models are not automatic replacements, and a larger or more expensive option is not necessarily the better match.

Purchase questions and receiving checks

What should the order include?

Ask for a line-item description of the supplied configuration. For a set or kit, confirm the contents; for a component, confirm the quantity and the matching parent model where relevant. If photographs show a larger assembly or several items, do not assume all of them form part of this SKU. Keep any essential accessories and documents explicit in the quotation so that receiving checks can follow the same requirements.

Receiving, care and record keeping

On receipt, compare the item and its packaging with the ordered model, quantity and configuration. Check the supplied components and any requested documentation. Keep the product identification visible in the workshop’s inventory record. If the delivered item differs from the confirmed order, resolve that difference before assigning it to the planned job. This is especially useful when a range contains visually similar sizes or accessories for different parent tools.

For continued use, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for inspection, cleaning, storage and maintenance. Do not assume that a cleaning chemical, lubricant or maintenance method used on another tool is suitable here. Keep damaged or uncertain equipment out of the planned task until its condition is assessed. Record any replacement parts by model so future orders use the confirmed reference rather than a visual guess.

Ordering in Vietnam

Send Techmaster Vietnam the model number GA616 and details of the task or existing equipment. Include any required sizes, connections and accessories.

Before ordering, confirm the quotation, lead time, package contents and applicable warranty terms. The official catalogue is the technical reference; it does not establish local stock or a Vietnam selling price.
