Nicholson 03764NN 12 in Bastard Cut Double Cut Flat File

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 03764NN is a 12-inch flat American pattern file with a bastard cut and double cut tooth configuration. It is designed for general-purpose metal stock removal and shaping in machining and fabrication applications. The file measures 1-5/32 inches wide and 9/32 inches thick, providing a rigid, non-flexible body suited for flat surface work. A tang is included for use with a file handle. Machinists, toolmakers, and metal fabricators reach for this file when they need fast, controlled material removal on steel, iron, and other metals.

This file is well suited for bench work in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The bastard cut offers a medium-coarse tooth pattern that removes material efficiently without excessive surface roughness. The double cut configuration creates two intersecting rows of teeth, improving chip clearance and cutting speed on flat metal surfaces. It is a standard tool for deburring, fitting, and shaping metal parts in both production and repair settings.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent clogging.
