Apex 40076N Pillar Narrow File Safe Edges 6 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 40076N is a pillar-style narrow file with safe edges, designed for precision filing in tight clearances and confined spaces. Constructed from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, this file measures 5.91 inches in overall length, 0.26 inches wide, and 0.12 inches tall, making it well suited for narrow-slot and keyway work where a standard-width file will not fit. The safe-edge design prevents accidental filing of adjacent surfaces, giving tradespeople better control in close-tolerance applications. Sold individually, this is a purpose-built hand tool for metal finishing work.

The 40076N is used across a range of trade applications including HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, electrical enclosure fitting, and general mechanical assembly where burr removal or slot refinement in steel, iron, or similar ferrous materials is required. Its narrow pillar profile makes it a practical choice when working inside brackets, channels, or slotted components where wider files cannot reach.

Key Features

• Pillar narrow profile fits confined slots and keyways standard files cannot reach
• Safe edges prevent accidental damage to adjacent surfaces during filing
• Steel construction provides durability for metal finishing and burr removal tasks
• Hard-stamped markings ensure lasting identification on the tool
• Compact 5.91-inch overall length suits tight work areas

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand file for use on ferrous metals and similar materials in trade and industrial hand-filing applications.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or specialized installation. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal to guard against chips and sharp edges. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing. Inspect the file tang and handle fitment before use to ensure safe operation.
