Apex Tool Group Llc 21832NN Mill Bastard File 8 Inches

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21832NN is an 8-inch mill bastard file designed for sharpening mill saws and circular saws, as well as draw-filing and finish-filing metals. This is an American pattern file with a rectangular cross-section, tapered slightly in width, and features two square edges that are single-cut on both side edges. The black diamond tooth pattern delivers consistent material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is a standard hand tool used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general tradespeople who need precise filing work on metal surfaces.

This file is suited for sharpening and dressing saw teeth on mill saws and circular saws, as well as smoothing and finishing flat metal surfaces in fabrication and maintenance applications. The bastard cut grade positions it between a coarse and smooth file, making it appropriate for general-purpose stock removal followed by a moderate finish. It is packaged individually on a card and is sold in units of one, with a package quantity of six available for stocking purposes.
