Apex 40651N Round File 0.187 in Double Cut Steel 6 in

Product Description

The APEX 40651N is a round file designed for deburring, enlarging holes, and shaping curved surfaces in metal, plastic, and wood. It features a 0.187-inch diameter cutting body with double cut edges, which remove material efficiently and leave a smoother finish than single cut files in fewer strokes. The steel construction provides durability through repeated use in shop and field applications. At 5.91 inches overall length with a 6-inch cutting surface, this is a compact tool suited for detail work in tight spaces. The hard stamped marking style ensures the specification remains legible through heavy use.

This round file is well suited for trade professionals who need precise material removal in confined areas, such as electricians cleaning conduit knockouts, plumbers deburring pipe openings, HVAC techs dressing refrigerant line ports, or general maintenance technicians working on equipment enclosures. Its small 0.187-inch diameter makes it appropriate for fine openings and narrow grooves where a larger file would not fit.

Key Features

• Double cut edges for faster material removal and efficient shaping
• 0.187-inch diameter round profile for work in narrow openings and grooves
• Steel construction for durability in shop and field conditions
• Hard stamped markings keep specifications readable over time
• Compact 5.91-inch overall length suits detail and confined-space work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round file suitable for use on metal, plastic, and wood surfaces where a small-diameter round profile is required.

Installation Notes

No power source is required for hand file use. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal, as burrs and filings can cause injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file tang and handle seating before use to prevent handle failure during application.
