Apex 11969 Round File 0.312 in Smooth Cut 8 in

Product Description

The APEX 11969 is a smooth-cut round file designed for precision material removal and fine finishing work on metal, wood, and plastic surfaces. Manufactured from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, this file features a single-cut edge that tapers slightly toward the point, making it well-suited for enlarging holes, smoothing curved surfaces, and deburring round or contoured workpieces. The file body measures 0.312 inches in diameter and 0.275 inches in thickness across an 8-inch working length. Tradespeople and machinists reach for smooth-cut files when a fine finish is the priority over aggressive stock removal.

This round file is a standard hand tool used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades wherever metal or other materials require controlled shaping or finishing. It is equally at home in a service van toolbox or a shop environment. The tapered profile allows the file to work into tight circular openings and follow curved contours with minimal chatter or skipping. Minimum order quantity is 12 units, making this a practical stock item for supply houses, fleet service operations, and shop tool inventories.

Installation Notes

Round files are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal to guard against sharp edges and file particles. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and avoid injury. Inspect the tang and handle fitment before use to ensure the file is seated properly and will not slip during operation.
