Apex 20189NN Milled Tooth Bodifile Flat File 14 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 20189NN is a milled tooth bodifile flat file designed for material removal and surface shaping in automotive body work and metalworking applications. Built from steel with a flat, curved-cut flexible profile, this file measures 14 inches in length with a 15-inch overall length including the handle. The 8 TPI milled tooth pattern provides consistent, controlled stock removal across body panels and similar surfaces. Its flexible construction allows the file to conform to contoured workpieces, making it well suited for fitting and finishing work where rigid files fall short.

This file is used in automotive body repair shops, fabrication environments, and general metalworking settings where shaping filler material, aluminum, or soft metals is required. The flat profile and curved-cut tooth geometry make it effective for smoothing body filler and refining surface contours before finishing. It is typically used by automotive body technicians and metal fabricators working on panel repair and restoration projects.
