Nicholson 03434NN Flat File 4 Inches Double Cut Smooth

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 03434NN is a 4-inch American-pattern flat file designed for metal machining and finishing work. It features a double cut tooth pattern with a smooth cut coarseness grade, making it well suited for fine stock removal and surface refining on metal workpieces. The file measures 15/32 inches wide and 3/32 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a separate handle. At 0.04 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight hand tool built for precision work in tight areas or on small parts. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for this style of file when close-tolerance hand finishing is required.

This flat file is intended for general metalworking applications including deburring, edge dressing, and surface smoothing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The double cut pattern and smooth grade suit finish work where material removal must be controlled. It is a standard shop and field tool for machinists, toolmakers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who require consistent results on metal surfaces.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool and requires no power source or mechanical installation. Fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to reduce the risk of hand injury from the exposed tang. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use. Keep files stored separately to prevent tooth-to-tooth contact that can dull cutting edges prematurely.
