Apex Tool Group Llc 08642N Mill Bastard Cut File

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 08642N is a 10-inch mill bastard cut file designed for material removal and surface finishing on metal workpieces. The bastard cut designation indicates a medium coarseness, making this file suitable for general-purpose stock removal before moving to finer finishing passes. It features a mill profile, which produces a flat, rectangular cross-section appropriate for filing flat surfaces, edges, and slots. Machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance trades keep this file in regular rotation for deburring, shaping, and fitting metal components.

This file is used across a wide range of trade and shop applications including pipefitting, HVAC fabrication, sheet metal work, and general mechanical maintenance. It is suited for use on ferrous metals, cast iron, and similar materials where controlled stock removal is needed. The 10-inch length provides good leverage and cutting stroke for bench work and field service tasks alike.

Installation Notes

Always fit the tang into a properly sized handle before use to prevent hand injury. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and consistent stroke direction.
