Apex T35982 Die Sinker Riffler File Round 6.5 Inch

Product Description

The APEX T35982 is a round die sinker riffler file designed for precise material removal in tight cavities, contoured surfaces, and mold or die work. The file features a Cut 2 tooth pattern, which delivers a medium-fine cutting action suitable for shaping and finishing steel workpieces. At 6.5 inches in file length and 0.12 inches in diameter, this tool reaches into confined areas that standard files cannot access. The marking style is hard stamped for permanent identification. Steel construction ensures durability through repeated use in shop and toolroom environments. Machinists, tool and die makers, and mold makers are the primary users of this file.

This riffler file is suited for toolroom applications where precise hand filing in mold cavities, die impressions, and recessed surfaces is required. The round profile allows it to work inside curved or cylindrical recesses. It is a common hand tool in environments where CNC finishing leaves surface material that must be removed manually. The Cut 2 classification places it between coarse and fine, making it practical for both initial shaping and intermediate finishing passes on ferrous metals and hardened steel surfaces.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power or mechanical installation. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use, and avoid applying lateral bending force that could fracture the narrow shank. No electrical shutoff or trade licensing is required, but appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves is recommended during use.
