Crescent Nicholson Square Double Cut File

Crescent Nicholson square double-cut hand files feature American-pattern teeth on all sides for efficient material removal and a tapered profile to ease access into slots, corners and keyways. The square shape is ideal for filing internal corners, keyways and slot work on metal. Double-cut teeth provide rapid cutting action; double-cut files have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions, while single-cut files have single diagonal rows. American pattern files are available in three coarseness grades (coarse/bastard, medium/second cut, fine/smooth cut), and the files include a tang that accepts an optional handle for secure gripping. These hand files are used to remove material, smooth and shape workpieces and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece.
