Apex 07835N Long Angle Lathe File Fine Cut Flat 8 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 07835N is a long angle lathe file designed for precision filing work on metal stock in lathe and machining applications. Built from steel with a fine cut and flat profile, this file produces smooth surface finishes on workpieces where controlled material removal is required. Safe edges on both sides prevent unintended cutting on adjacent surfaces, making it well suited for shoulder and step filing operations. The file measures 8 inches in length with a thickness of 0.175 inches and a width of 0.77 inches. Hard stamped marking ensures the cut and grade remain legible through heavy shop use.

This file is used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and machine shops where lathe filing is part of routine metal finishing. The flat profile and long angle tooth geometry allow machinists and toolmakers to refine cylindrical workpieces directly on the lathe. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a fine finish is the goal. The fine cut designation makes it suitable for finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal.

Key Features

• Fine cut for smooth finishing passes on metal workpieces
• Safe edges on both sides protect adjacent shoulders and steps during filing
• Flat profile with long angle tooth geometry optimized for lathe filing
• Hard stamped markings for lasting grade identification in shop environments
• Steel construction for durability in metalworking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard long angle lathe file suitable for use with conventional metal lathes and general bench filing work in machining and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool used by machinists and metalworkers and does not require installation in the traditional sense. When lathe filing, ensure the workpiece is secured and the lathe is set to an appropriate low speed before beginning. Always use a proper file handle to maintain control and protect against tang injuries. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool.
