Apex 04960N Half Round File Smooth 8 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 04960N is a smooth-cut half round file designed for deburring, finishing, and shaping metal, plastic, and composite surfaces in trade and maintenance applications. At 8 inches in working length and 10.12 inches overall, it provides enough reach for work in tight spots without sacrificing control. The smooth cut rating means this file removes material gradually, making it the right choice for final finishing passes where surface quality matters. Constructed from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, it is built to hold its cut geometry through repeated use on job sites.

Half round files are a standard tool for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance trades who need to clean burrs from cut pipe, conduit, or sheet metal edges before fitting or threading. The flat face handles flat surfaces and inside angles, while the curved face works concave profiles and pipe interiors. At 0.75 inches wide and 0.20 inches thick, this file fits into standard file handles and works well for detail work on fittings, brackets, and enclosures.

Key Features

• Smooth cut for fine finishing and light material removal on metal and plastic

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or installation. Secure the file in an appropriate handle before use to protect the hand from the tang. Always file away from the body and wear appropriate eye protection when deburring metal. Inspect the file regularly for cracked or chipped teeth and replace if the cut surface is damaged.
