Built from steel with a double-cut, second-cut pattern, it delivers controlled stock removal with a relatively smooth finish. The file body measures 12 inches in length with an overall length of 14.5 inches including the tang. At 1.14 inches wide and 0.235 inches thick, it carries a flat profile suited to flat surfaces, slots, and general filing work. One safe edge protects adjacent surfaces from unintended cutting. Size and cut specifications are hard stamped into the file for permanent identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat hand file is a standard tool for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, pipefitters, and general trade mechanics who need to dress burrs, fit parts, or clean up metal edges in the field or shop. The second-cut tooth pattern is a mid-range cut, coarser than a smooth file and finer than a bastard cut, making it a practical general-purpose choice for ferrous metals and most non-ferrous stock. It is sold as an individual file.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-cut, second-cut pattern for controlled material removal and mid-range surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne safe edge prevents damage to adjacent shoulders or finished surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-inch file length with 14.5-inch overall length including tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat profile at 1.14 inches wide and 0.235 inches thick suits flat and near-flat workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-stamped markings provide permanent size and cut identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard flat hand file compatible with most standard file handles sized for 12-inch files.

Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to prevent movement and reduce injury risk. Always fit a proper file handle to the tang before use to protect against hand injury. Never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Cut, Second Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 Safe Edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.235 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.95 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 06117N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343151759666,"sku":"06117N","price":158.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310536367.jpg?v=1782018256","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-06117n-flat-hand-file-double-cut-12-inch-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
