Apex 06804N Knife File Bastard Cut 6 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 06804N is a bastard-cut knife file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and angled grooves. The knife profile — narrow and tapered with a sharp edge — makes it well suited for filing saw teeth, slots, notches, and similar confined areas where a flat or round file cannot reach. At 6 inches in file length and 0.688 inches wide, this file delivers controlled cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It is hard stamped for permanent identification and constructed of steel for durability through repeated use.

This knife file is used in maintenance, fabrication, and sharpening applications across mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing trades. It is a practical hand tool for technicians who need to dress burrs, open slots, or true up edges during equipment installation or repair. The bastard cut provides a medium aggressiveness that removes material efficiently while leaving a workable surface for finishing passes if needed.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to prevent movement and reduce injury risk. Always attach a proper file handle before use to protect the hand from the tang. Inspect the file for chips or cracks before each use and replace if the cutting surfaces are worn smooth or damaged.
