Apex 15024NN Double Extra Slim Taper File 6 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 15024NN is a double extra slim taper file designed for precision filing work in tight spaces and on fine-toothed applications. Featuring a triangular cross-section and a single-cut pattern, this file removes material in a controlled, smooth stroke that suits work on saw teeth, narrow slots, and angular surfaces. The cutting edges are set cut, and the file body is hard stamped for clear identification. At 6 inches in file length with a 7.52-inch overall length, it is sized for hand-tool work requiring both reach and control. Constructed from steel, it delivers consistent cutting performance across repeated use. Licensed trades and tool-dependent professionals who work with ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this file a reliable hand-tool addition.

The 15024NN is suited for applications where standard slim or slim taper files are too wide to access the workpiece geometry. Typical uses include sharpening hand saws and rip saws, cleaning threads, deburring narrow slots, and refining angular cuts on metal or hard plastics. Its triangular profile allows engagement on three distinct flat faces, making it effective on internal angles, saw gullets, and v-grooves. This file is appropriate for use in HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in metalwork, electrical panel knockout cleanup, and general mechanical trade environments where hand filing is part of standard workflow.

Key Features

• Double extra slim taper profile for access in confined or narrow workspaces
• Triangular cross-section engages three flat cutting faces for versatile use
• Single-cut pattern delivers smooth, controlled material removal
• Edges set cut for effective work on saw teeth and angular surfaces
• Hard stamped marking for durable file identification
• Steel construction for lasting cutting performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard double extra slim taper file for use with conventional file handles sized for 6-inch files; compatible with most trade-standard file handle fittings used in hand-tool metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool used by mechanics, machinists, and trade technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general fabrication work. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing to prevent movement and maintain stroke control. Use a properly fitted file handle to protect the hand from the tang. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before use, and keep the file clean with a file card to maintain cutting efficiency.
