Apex Tool Group Llc 21825NN Bastard Mill File 6 Inches

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21825NN is a 6-inch single-cut bastard mill file designed for sharpening mill saws, circular saws, and finishing metal surfaces. The rectangular cross-section provides flat, even contact across straight surfaces, making it well-suited for draw filing and detail finishing work. Two square edges allow the user to cut grooves that match the file width exactly, and the slight taper in width toward the tip improves access in narrow slots and confined workspaces. This file is a hand tool staple for machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who need precise metal filing in the field or shop.

This bastard mill file is used in maintenance and repair operations where saw sharpening or metal finishing is required. It performs reliably on mill saws and circular saw blades, and the single-cut tooth pattern produces a smoother finish than double-cut files, making it appropriate for draw filing applications. It is commonly used in industrial shops, fabrication environments, and field service situations where hand filing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals is part of routine work.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool and requires no power source or mechanical installation. When sharpening saw blades, secure the blade firmly in a vise before filing to prevent movement and injury. Always use a file handle to protect against tang injuries during use. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and replace if the teeth are worn smooth or the body is compromised.
