Apex Tool Group Llc 21874NN 6 in Double Extra Slim Taper File

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21874NN is a 6-inch double-cut extra slim taper file with a triangular cross-section, designed for precision filing work in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured to American Pattern standards, this file features edges set-cut specifically for filling gullets between saw teeth, making it a reliable choice for saw sharpening and fine material removal tasks. At 0.36 pounds, the tool is lightweight and easy to handle during extended use. The slim taper profile allows access to tight angles and narrow grooves where standard files cannot reach.

This taper file is suited for use by electricians, millwrights, machinists, plumbers, and general trade professionals who maintain cutting tools, sharpen hand saws, or need precise metal finishing in tight spaces. The triangular shape and extra slim taper profile make it particularly effective for sharpening crosscut saws and similar toothed tools. It is sold individually as a carded unit and is packaged in quantities of six per package for shop or truck stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or installation. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling files, as edges and tang can cause lacerations. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and achieve consistent results. Store separately from other metal tools to prevent edge damage and premature dulling.
