8 Nicholson Mill File with Ergonomic Handle

The Nicholson mill hand file features an ergonomic handle and a rectangular shape, with single-cut American pattern teeth on the sides and edges. This design is ideal for sharpening mill or circular saws, as well as for draw filing and finishing metals. The file tapers slightly towards the point, allowing for easier access into grooves. The single-cut American pattern teeth are perfect for finishing, sharpening, and deburring, while the square edges are designed for filing sharp corners.

The file is equipped with an attached rubber-coated handle for an ergonomic grip, making it comfortable to use. Hand files are commonly used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces by pushing the file over a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are characterized by diagonal rows cut across the width of the file, while double-cut teeth have rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files come in three coarseness grades: coarse (bastard cut), medium (second cut), and fine (smooth cut).

In comparison, Swiss pattern files offer eight coarseness grades, ranging from coarse (00) to fine to finest (6), providing a smoother and more precise finish than American pattern files. Nicholson is known for manufacturing high-quality hand tools and power tool accessories, with its headquarters located in Sparks, MD. Overall, the Nicholson mill hand file is a versatile tool that is designed to meet the needs of both professionals and hobbyists alike.
