Apex 35114N Barrette File 4 Inch Steel

Product Description

The APEX 35114N is a 4-inch barrette file designed for precision filing in tight spaces and on detailed workpieces. It features safe beveled edges, meaning the edges are smooth and will not cut adjacent surfaces during use. Constructed from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, this file delivers consistent, controlled material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. At 3.94 inches in overall length, 0.49 inches wide, and 0.1 inches in overall height, it is well suited for fine finishing, deburring, and fitting work where larger files cannot reach.

The 35114N barrette file is commonly used by machinists, toolmakers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for dressing burrs, fitting slots, and refining surfaces on metal components. Its barrette profile — flat on the working face and safe on the edges — makes it a practical choice for filing one surface while protecting adjacent faces. It is appropriate for both shop use and field service work where precision hand filing is required.

Key Features

• Safe beveled edges protect adjacent surfaces during filing
• Barrette profile provides a flat working face for controlled stock removal
• Steel construction for durability across metal, wood, and composite materials
• Hard-stamped marking for lasting identification throughout service life
• Compact 4-inch length reaches confined areas and detailed workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand file suitable for use with standard file handles compatible with 4-inch file tangs.

Installation Notes

Hand files should be fitted with an appropriate file handle before use to prevent injury from the tang. Always file with controlled, forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve cutting edges. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing. Inspect the file regularly and replace if teeth are worn, cracked, or clogged with material.
