Apex 02147N Chain Saw File 0.25 in Round Knurl Cut

Product Description

The APEX 02147N is a round chain saw file designed for sharpening the cutting teeth of chain saw chains. Built from steel with a knurl cut profile, this file delivers controlled material removal on hardened chain tooth edges. The round cross-section measures 0.25 inches in diameter, with a file body width and thickness of 0.237 inches and a working length of 8 inches. No handle is included, making it compatible with standard file handles sold separately. Licensed HVAC technicians, arborists, loggers, and general maintenance professionals reach for this file when restoring a dull chain to cutting spec.

This file is suited for sharpening standard pitch chain saw chains in residential and commercial cutting applications. The knurl cut pattern is appropriate for use on chain tooth faces and depth gauges. It is typically sold in minimum quantities of 6 units, making it practical for shop stocking or service vehicle inventory. The hard-stamped marking style ensures the specification remains legible through regular field use.
