Built from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, this file measures 11.81 inches in overall length, 0.76 inches wide, and 0.25 inches in height, giving it the narrow, rectangular cross-section that defines the pillar pattern. Safe edges mean the long edges of the file are smooth and uncut, allowing the user to file one surface without scoring the adjacent shoulder or wall. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians reach for this tool when working in tight slots, keyways, and recesses where edge control matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pillar file is suited for ferrous metal work including steel and iron stock removal, deburring, and surface finishing in shop and field environments. The narrow profile makes it well suited for filing inside slots, rectangular openings, and close-tolerance features where a flat or mill file would be too wide. It is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades for fitting conduit knockouts, cleaning burrs from pipe ends, and dressing metal bracket edges before assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafe edges on both long sides prevent accidental scoring of adjacent surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePillar profile provides a narrow, rectangular cross-section for slot and keyway work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-inch cut length with 11.81-inch overall length for extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard-stamped markings for durable, legible tooth pattern identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction built to handle repetitive material removal on ferrous stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular style cut balances material removal rate with surface finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose hand file suitable for use on steel, iron, and similar ferrous metals in maintenance, fabrication, and trade service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand files should be fitted with a proper handle before use to prevent tang injuries. Always secure the workpiece in a vise before filing. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use, and store files separated from each other to prevent tooth damage. File cutting motion is on the forward stroke only; lifting the file on the return stroke extends tooth life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.81 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.76 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pillar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Safe Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarking Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hard Stamped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 39992N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342846296370,"sku":"39992N","price":67.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310536472.jpg?v=1782008454","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-39992n-pillar-file-safe-edges-12-inch-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
