Apex 40687N Round File 0.25 in Double Cut Steel

Product Description

The APEX 40687N is a round file designed for deburring, shaping, and enlarging round openings in metal, pipe, and similar materials. At 0.25 inches in diameter with double cut edges, it removes material quickly and leaves a workable surface suitable for follow-on finishing. The file body measures 7.87 inches in overall length and 0.3 inches in overall width. Constructed from steel with a hard stamped marking style, this file is built for repeated use in trade shop and field environments. It ships without a handle, so installers should fit an appropriate handle before use. This is an unhandled file sold individually.

This round file suits applications where technicians need to clean up burrs on drilled or punched holes, open conduit knockouts to proper diameter, or refine pipe notches during rough-in work. Plumbers, HVAC techs, and electricians commonly keep a round file on hand for deburring copper, steel, or aluminum after cutting. The 0.25-inch diameter makes it well suited for working inside smaller openings where larger files cannot reach.

Key Features

• Double cut edges for fast, aggressive material removal on metal surfaces
• 0.25-inch diameter round profile for working inside small openings and drilled holes
• 8-inch file length provides good control and reach during hand filing
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive trade use
• Hard stamped markings for lasting identification on the file body
• Unhandled design — compatible with standard aftermarket file handles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round file for use on metal, pipe, and similar materials in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed or journeyman-level tradesperson in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical work typically uses this file as part of rough-in and finishing tasks. Always fit a proper handle to the tang before filing to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before applying pressure. Keep strokes consistent and use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses when filing metal.
