Description

The Nicholson 22030HNN 9-piece American pattern hand file set with ergonomic
handles includes an assortment of file profiles, cuts, and lengths for
shaping, sharpening, and removing material in both home and professional
applications. The set includes a 6″/150 mm double extra slim taper, 6″/150 mm
slim taper, 8″/200 mm half-round, 8″/200 mm flat, 10″/250 mm half-round,
10″/250 mm flat, 10″/250 mm round, 10″/250 mm mill, and 12″/250 mm mill file.
The files have single-cut faces for use with light pressure, except for the
half-round and flat files which have double-cut faces. All files, except the
taper files, have a bastard cut for heavy material removal when finish is not
a concern. The files are made from high-carbon steel for high strength and
durability. The ergonomically shaped handles are rubber coated for comfort,
grip, and increased control. The handles also have a hanging hole for storage
and organization. The set comes in a red roll-up pouch with each compartment
labeled with the file length, shape, and coarseness. Assortment Contents

and creating fine finishes on metalsFiles are toothed tools that offer a
controlled way to remove material from intricate shapes. The shape of the
object being filed establishes which file shape and length should be used. For
example, a round file is recommended when filing concave surfaces or enlarging
holes. File length measures the cutting face and does not include the handle
or tang. The cut and coarseness of the file determines how much material will
be removed with each stroke. A single-cut file has parallel rows of teeth
covering its face, removing small amounts of material with light pressure to
create a fine finish. A double-cut file has similar teeth as a single-cut file
but is overlaid with a second set of parallel teeth facing the opposite
direction. This second set of teeth increases the amount of material removed
with each pass, generates a rougher finish, and requires heavier pressure than
a single-cut file. A rasp-cut file has individually formed teeth that are
raised above the tool’s surface for removing large amounts of material from
wood, aluminum, lead, and other soft materials. A curved-cut file has teeth
arranged in parallel semicircles across the face of the file and is most
commonly used for auto body projects. Most files are classified as American
pattern or Swiss pattern, and each has their own coarseness rating system.
American pattern files are rated bastard (coarse) cut, second (semi-smooth)
cut, and smooth cut. Swiss pattern files are recommended for precision
applications and have a larger rating scale from coarse (00) to extra smooth
(6).Nicholson brand is manufactured by Apex Tool Group, maker of hand and
