Apex Tool Group Llc 21687NN Bastard Mill File 6 Inches

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21687NN is a 6-inch single-cut bastard mill file designed for sharpening mill saws and circular saws. Its rectangular profile makes it effective for smoothing and sharpening straight surfaces on metal components. Two square edges allow the user to cut grooves that match the file width, and the body tapers slightly in width toward the tip to improve access in narrow slots. This file is also well-suited for draw filing and finishing work on metal. It is a hand tool used by machinists, millwrights, saw filers, and general tradespeople who need precise material removal and edge maintenance.

This mill file fits standard applications in metal fabrication shops, saw sharpening operations, and maintenance environments. The single-cut tooth pattern produces a smooth, controlled cut that is appropriate for finishing passes and fine edge work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its compact 6-inch length suits close-quarters work and benchtop use. The file ships with a handle and is ready for immediate use on both handheld and bench-mounted filing tasks.
