Apex 06867N Knife File Smooth Cut 6 Inch Sharp Edge

Product Description

The APEX 06867N is a knife-profile hand file designed for precision material removal in tight or angled grooves where flat or round files cannot reach. The knife shape — narrow and tapered with a sharp edge — makes it well suited for cleaning out dovetail joints, sharpening saw teeth, and deburring notches in metal, plastic, or wood. This file carries a smooth cut rating, meaning the tooth pattern removes material finely with minimal surface roughness, making it appropriate for finishing work rather than aggressive stock removal. It is a standard bench-trade tool used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians.

This file is sized for detail and finishing applications. The 6-inch file length and 0.688-inch width keep it maneuverable in confined spaces. At 0.142 inches thick, the blade profile is slim enough to enter narrow slots and grooves. The part is sold individually without a handle. It is appropriate for hand-tool use in light fabrication, field service, and shop environments where a fine-tooth knife file is part of standard trade kit.

Key Features

• Knife profile with sharp edge for access to narrow grooves and angled surfaces
• Smooth cut tooth pattern for fine finishing and light deburring
• 6-inch file length suited for detail and confined-space work
• 0.688-inch width and 0.142-inch thickness for a slim, maneuverable profile
• Hard-stamped marking for permanent part identification
• Steel construction for durability across metal, plastic, and wood applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose knife file for hand-tool use across trade and shop applications requiring a smooth-cut, knife-profile file.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or code compliance beyond standard shop safety practice. Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent slipping. Do not apply lateral pressure that could snap the slim blade profile. Use appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against swarf and file fragment hazards.
