This flat-profile file features a bastard cut with two square, single-cut edges, making it well suited for fast material removal on steel, cast iron, and similar metals. The blade measures 0.765 inches wide and 0.13 inches thick, giving it the rigidity needed for controlled filing on flat and slightly curved surfaces. The part designation is hard-stamped directly onto the file for clear, lasting identification in a busy shop or service environment. Each file ships as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mill file is a standard tool for metalworking and maintenance tasks encountered across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work. It is commonly used to clean burrs from cut pipe or conduit, dress valve seats and fittings, smooth rough edges on sheet metal brackets, or refine notches and slots. The bastard cut removes material faster than a second-cut or smooth file, making it the right choice when starting with unfinished or rough stock before moving to a finer file for finish work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard cut rating for fast, aggressive stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo square, single-cut edges extend the working surface area of the file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat profile and uniform 0.13-inch thickness suit flat and moderately curved workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-stamped marking ensures part identification holds up through heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability across common trade metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose mill file suitable for use on steel, cast iron, and similar metals in standard metalworking and maintenance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMill files are hand tools used by trade professionals without power or electrical considerations. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and produce consistent results. Always file on the forward stroke and lift the file on the return to preserve cutting teeth. A file handle is strongly recommended to prevent injury from an exposed tang during extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.765 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.13 inches\u003c\/li\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: Bastard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 Square, Single Cut Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 037103084972\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: 08497NN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344710893874,"sku":"08497NN","price":15.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551865.jpg?v=1782041206","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-08497nn-mill-file-8-inch-bastard-cut-single-cut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
