Slight Taper in Width, Constant Thickness for Control

APEX designed this mill file with geometry that supports flat, even filing:

• Slight taper in width from heel to tip for better access and control Brownells Iberica+2Brownells Schweiz+2

• Thickness remains constant over the entire length for consistent pressure and flatness Brownells Iberica+1

• Helps you maintain straight lines and truly flat surfaces when draw-filing or pushing along a workpiece
