Apex Tool Group Llc 21701NN 10 Inch Mill Bastard Cut File

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21701NN is a 10 inch mill bastard cut file designed for material removal, deburring, and surface shaping in trade and industrial settings. The bastard cut refers to a medium coarseness tooth pattern, making it effective for fast stock removal on ferrous metals, aluminum, and plastics. The mill profile provides a flat working face suited for flat and curved surface work. The file includes a handle for a secure, controlled grip during use. At 0.84 pounds, it is light enough for extended single-handed operation. Licensed trades and general maintenance technicians commonly keep this file as a standard bench tool.

This file is appropriate for use in HVAC fabrication and sheet metal work, plumbing and pipefitting, electrical conduit preparation, and general mechanical maintenance. The bastard cut is well suited for tasks that require moderate material removal before finishing with a finer cut file. It can be used on soft to medium hardness metals and non-metallic materials in both shop and field environments. It is sold as an individual unit and is available in package quantities of 6.

Installation Notes

Hand files do not require power-down procedures but should be used with appropriate eye protection to guard against metal filings. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use and replace if damaged, as a loose handle can cause injury during filing. Never use a file without a handle. Store files separated from other tools to prevent tooth damage and premature wear.
