Apex 21846NN Round File 0.25 in Bastard Cut 6 in

Product Description

The APEX 21846NN is a 6-inch round file designed for deburring, shaping, and enlarging holes in metal and other hard materials. It features a bastard-cut, single-cut tooth pattern with a slight taper toward the point, giving the user consistent material removal across the working length. The file measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 0.220 inches in thickness, making it well-suited for working in tight or narrow openings. Fabricators, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople reach for this style of file when cleaning up burrs on tubing, fittings, or drilled openings before assembly.

This round file is appropriate for both shop and field use. It fits naturally into HVAC and plumbing service workflows where copper tubing, conduit ends, or pipe fittings require light dressing before connection. The tapered profile allows the file to seat into openings of varying diameter along its length, improving control during use. The hard-stamped marking style ensures the cut grade and size remain legible through normal service life.

Installation Notes

Round files of this type are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement and reduce risk of injury. A handle appropriate for the tang should be fitted before use to maintain safe grip and control. Dispose of worn files properly and inspect for cracks or damage before each use.
