Apex 06001NN Flat Hand File 10 Inch Double Cut

Product Description

The APEX 06001NN is a flat hand file designed for material removal, shaping, and deburring on metal workpieces. This double-cut, second-cut file features one safe edge, allowing the user to file adjacent surfaces without damaging a finished face. The file blade measures 10 inches in length with a width of 0.96 inches and a thickness of 0.19 inches. Constructed from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, the 06001NN is built to hold up under regular shop and field use. The overall tool length, including the tang, is 12.25 inches.

This flat hand file is a standard tool in metal fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical service. It is suited for both bench work and on-site fitting tasks where a controlled, medium-aggression cut is needed. The second-cut tooth pattern provides a balance between fast stock removal and a reasonably smooth finished surface. The single safe edge makes it practical for filing into corners and against shoulders without undercutting adjacent surfaces.

Installation Notes

Hand files should be fitted with a proper handle before use to protect the hand from the tang. Ensure the workpiece is secured in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use, and never use a hand file as a pry bar or hammer substitute. Follow shop safety practices including eye protection when filing metal.
