Apex 03467NN Flat File Bastard Cut 6 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 03467NN is a 6-inch flat file with a bastard cut, designed for general-purpose material removal and surface finishing in trade and industrial applications. At 0.115 inches thick and 0.59 inches wide, this file has a slim profile suited for working in tight areas or refining edges on metal, plastic, and similar materials. Weighing approximately 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight hand tool that delivers controlled cutting action. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople rely on flat bastard files for deburring pipe ends, fitting conduit knockouts, and dressing rough-cut metal edges.

This flat file is suited for light to moderate stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as harder plastics. The bastard cut designation indicates a medium-coarse tooth pattern, which sits between a rough cut and a second-cut file, making it a practical choice for fast material removal while still leaving a workable surface finish. It is well suited for bench work, field service calls, and general maintenance tasks where a handheld filing tool is needed quickly.
