It measures 8 inches in length with a flat profile 0.74 inches wide and 0.13 inches thick. The double-cut tooth pattern on the sides enables fast stock removal, while the single-cut edges allow controlled filing in tight areas without damaging adjacent surfaces. The smooth-cut grade makes it suited for fine finishing work where surface quality matters. Hard-stamped markings provide durable identification throughout the tool's service life. Steel construction throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file is a standard hand tool used by pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades for deburring, shaping, and finish-filing metal components. It is well suited for cleaning burrs from cut pipe ends, dressing threads, fitting conduit knockouts, and refining rough edges on sheet metal or bracket stock. The flat shape with differentiated cut patterns on sides versus edges gives the user flexibility across a range of filing tasks in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-cut sides for efficient material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-cut edges for precision work in confined areas without damaging adjacent surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth-cut grade for fine finishing on metal surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat profile fits standard flat-file applications across multiple trades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard-stamped marking style for lasting identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability under regular field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 8-inch flat hand file suitable for general metal filing tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical maintenance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand files should be fitted with an appropriate handle before use to prevent injury from the tang. Always file with controlled strokes away from the body and secure the workpiece in a vise where practical. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged. Files should not be used on materials harder than the file itself, as this will damage the cutting teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (with tang)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.84 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: Smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Cut on Sides, Single Cut on Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUOM\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 03632NN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347155058994,"sku":"03632NN","price":171.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310536381.jpg?v=1782098981","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-03632nn-flat-file-smooth-cut-8-inch-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
