Apex 03367NN Flat File Bastard Cut 4 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 03367NN is a 4-inch bastard-cut flat file designed for general-purpose material removal and surface finishing in hand tool applications. At 0.078 inches thick and 0.43 inches wide, this file is built for controlled work in tight spaces where a larger file cannot reach. The bastard cut provides a medium-coarse tooth pattern suited for rapid stock removal on metal, while still leaving a workable surface finish. It is a single-unit hand tool used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople for deburring, fitting, and shaping metal components.

This flat file is appropriate for bench work, field fabrication, and maintenance tasks across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Its compact 4-inch length makes it practical for deburring pipe ends, cleaning burrs from conduit, dressing fittings, and shaping soft metal components where precision hand-filing is required. It is sold as an individual piece, making it easy to stock as a replacement or supplement to an existing tool kit.

Installation Notes

No power tools or mechanical equipment are required for use. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before use. When filing metal, apply consistent forward pressure and lift on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness.
