Nicholson 03533NN Flat File 6 Inches Double Cut Smooth

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 03533NN is a 6-inch American-pattern flat file designed for precision metal removal and finishing in machining applications. It features a double cut tooth pattern with a smooth cut coarseness, making it well suited for fine finishing work on metal surfaces. The file measures 39/64 inches wide and 5/32 inches thick, with a full 6-inch length of cut. A tang end is included for fitting a handle. At 0.14 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use without fatigue. Licensed tradespeople and machinists in metal fabrication and maintenance environments rely on this type of file for controlled, accurate material removal.

This file is intended for metal machining applications where controlled surface finishing is required. It works on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in bench work, tool and die, maintenance and repair, and general fabrication settings. The flat profile allows access to flat surfaces, shoulders, and slots. The smooth double cut makes it appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive stock removal. It is sold individually and requires a separate file handle to be fitted to the tang before use.

Installation Notes

A file handle must be fitted to the tang before use to prevent injury from the exposed tang end. Secure the handle fully before applying pressure. Always file with forward strokes and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth life. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal workpieces.
