Crescent Nicholson 00047nn Flat Aluminum File 10 in 6-pack

Product Description

The CRESCENT NICHOLSON 00047nn is a 10-inch flat file engineered specifically for working aluminum stock. It features a double-cut pattern that aggressively shears aluminum without loading or clogging the teeth — a common problem with standard general-purpose files. The long rectangular profile provides enough face area for fast material removal in a single stroke. For finishing passes, applying a shearing motion to the left produces a smoother surface finish. This tool is suited for fabricators, HVAC sheet metal techs, plumbers, and electricians who regularly work aluminum conduit, fittings, or structural stock. Sold in a pack of 6.

This file is designed for use on aluminum workpieces in trade and light industrial applications. The double-cut tooth geometry cuts faster than single-cut files and resists the gummy buildup that aluminum causes on conventional file teeth. Typical applications include deburring cut aluminum pipe, dressing aluminum extrusions, and fitting aluminum sheet metal components. The flat profile with a rectangular cross-section makes it well-suited for flat surfaces and inside corners with open access. Installers working aluminum electrical enclosures, ductwork flanges, or pool equipment housings will find this file a practical bench and field tool.

Installation Notes

Files are hand tools requiring no power source, but eye protection should always be worn when filing metal to guard against swarf. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency, especially when working aluminum. Dispose of worn files properly — do not attempt to re-sharpen double-cut files.
