Apex Tool Group Llc 21839NN Bastard Mill File 10 Inches

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21839NN is a 10-inch single-cut bastard mill file designed for sharpening mill saws and circular saws, as well as draw filing and finishing metal surfaces. Its rectangular profile provides consistent contact along straight edges, making it a reliable tool for metalworking tasks in fabrication, maintenance, and tool-sharpening applications. Two square edges allow the technician to cut grooves that match the file's width precisely, and the body tapers slightly in width toward the tip to improve access in narrow slots and confined work areas.

This bastard mill file is suited for trade and industrial settings where accurate sharpening and surface finishing are required. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers who need a dependable single-cut file for controlled, smooth stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The single-cut tooth pattern delivers a cleaner finish with each stroke compared to double-cut configurations, making it appropriate for finishing passes and fine-tuning cutting edges.
