Apex 38059 Slitting Needle File 6.25 Inches Steel

Product Description

The APEX 38059 is a slitting needle file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and narrow grooves. Featuring cut edges along its profile, this file is built for controlled, fine-finish filing work on metal and similar hard materials. Constructed from steel with hard-stamped markings for lasting identification, the 38059 measures 6.25 inches in file length with an overall length of 6.3 inches, a width of 0.24 inches, and a height of 0.08 inches. It is well suited for machinists, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other tradespeople who need a reliable detail file for deburring, fitting, or slot work.

The APEX 38059 slitting needle file is used in applications where a standard flat or round file cannot reach narrow channels, keyways, slots, or tight-tolerance grooves. Its slim profile and cut-edge geometry make it appropriate for fine metalwork, burr removal after drilling or cutting, and surface preparation in confined areas. Sold individually, it is a practical addition to any trade tool kit where precision hand filing is part of routine service or fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Needle files are hand tools and require no power source or special installation. Always secure the workpiece before filing to prevent movement and injury.
