Apex 39911N Pillar File Safe Edges 6 Inch Steel

Product Description

The APEX 39911N is a 6-inch pillar file designed for precision filing in tight slots, keyways, and narrow work areas where standard files cannot reach. Built from hardened steel with a regular style cut, it features safe edges that protect adjacent surfaces from unintended material removal. The double-cut tooth pattern removes material efficiently while still allowing controlled, accurate shaping. At 5.91 inches overall length and 0.47 inches wide, this file is sized for close-tolerance hand work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and tool-and-die applications. It is hard stamped for clear identification in a shop or field kit.

This pillar file is suited for use by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades working with steel, iron, and similar ferrous materials. It is commonly used to deburr bolt holes, open keyways, true up mating surfaces, and dress weld flash in confined areas. The safe edge design makes it practical for filing one surface without marring the adjoining face, which is a common requirement in precision repair and fabrication work.

Key Features

• Safe edges on both sides protect adjacent surfaces during filing
• Double cut No. 2 file pattern for efficient material removal with moderate finish
• Pillar shape provides narrow profile for slotted and keyway work
• Hardened steel construction for durability on ferrous metals
• Hard stamped marking for lasting identification
• Compact 6-inch length suits hand-tool kits and field service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style hand file for general metalworking and maintenance applications where a narrow-profile pillar file with safe edges is required.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool installed or used without power. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing to maintain control and avoid injury. Always file with a handle attached to the tang to prevent hand injuries from the exposed tang end. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and replace if teeth are worn smooth or the body is chipped.
