Apex 13033 Square File 6 Inch Smooth Double Cut

Product Description

The APEX 13033 is a 6-inch smooth-cut square file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and square-profile work. The file features a double-cut edge pattern with a slight taper toward the point, giving technicians and tradespeople controlled cutting action across a range of metals and hard materials. At 0.220 inches square in cross-section and 0.25 inches nominal size, this file fits into narrow slots, keyways, and right-angle recesses where flat or round files cannot reach. Hard stamped marking identifies the file type and cut grade for quick identification in a tool kit or job bag.

This square file is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who need to clean up burrs, open slots, or refine square openings in metal components during installation or service work. The smooth cut removes material slowly and precisely, making it appropriate for finishing passes where a coarser cut file has already done the bulk of the work. It is sold individually and is a standard addition to a professional hand-file set.

Installation Notes

Hand files are used by trade professionals during fabrication, fitting, and finish work on metal components. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Always file with forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve the cutting teeth. Inspect the file tang and handle condition before use to ensure safe operation.
