Product Description

The APEX 21458 is a 10-inch file cleaner designed to remove metal filings, debris, and clogged material from files and rasps during metalworking and woodworking tasks. Featuring a wood handle measuring 3.5 inches in length and a 10-inch file card cleaning surface, this tool restores cutting efficiency to files that have become loaded with material.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. To use, press the file card bristles firmly across the face of a loaded file or rasp in the direction of the teeth to dislodge trapped material. Always wear appropriate eye protection when cleaning files, as debris can become dislodged under pressure. Inspect the file card bristles periodically and replace the cleaner when bristles show significant wear.
