Apex 06930N Knife File Second Cut 0.866 in 8 in

Product Description

The APEX 06930N is a knife-style hand file designed for precise material removal in tight angles and tapered slots. With a sharp edge profile and second-cut tooth pattern, it delivers controlled stock removal on steel, cast iron, and similar metals. The file measures 8 inches in working length with an overall length of 10.13 inches and a width of 0.866 inches. The knife shape allows access to V-grooves, dovetails, and acute inside angles where flat or round files cannot reach. The part number is hard stamped for permanent identification. This file ships without a handle.

The 06930N suits bench work across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trade shops where fitting, deburring, and shaping metal components is part of daily service work. It is suited for cleaning up burrs on pipe threads, fitting keyways, dressing valve seats, and refining slot profiles in sheet metal or structural steel. The second-cut tooth pattern sits between bastard and smooth, making it appropriate for intermediate finishing passes where a bastard cut would leave too coarse a surface.

Installation Notes

This file is sold without a handle; a properly sized file handle should be fitted before use to prevent injury from the tang. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Always file with forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Eye protection is recommended when filing metal.
