Nicholson 03632NN Flat File 8 Inches Double Cut Smooth

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 03632NN is an 8-inch American-pattern flat file designed for precision metal filing in machining and fabrication applications. It features a double cut with a smooth cut coarseness rating, making it well suited for finishing work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The file measures 25/32 inches wide and 13/64 inches thick, with a tang end for use with a standard file handle. At 0.32 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended hand use while maintaining the rigidity required for controlled material removal. Licensed trades and machining professionals rely on this pattern for deburring, flat surface smoothing, and fine stock removal.

This file is intended for machining and metalworking applications where a flat profile and smooth double-cut tooth pattern are needed. It performs on a range of metal materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron. The American-pattern shape is a standard choice in maintenance, toolroom, and fabrication environments. It is sold individually and requires a separate file handle for safe use.

Installation Notes

This file requires a properly fitted handle attached to the tang before use — operating a file without a handle presents a puncture hazard. Always secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and avoid injury. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damaged. File handles are not included and must be sourced separately.
