Nicholson 05194N Half Round Bastard Cut File 14 in

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 05194N is a 14-inch half-round bastard cut file designed for material removal on iron, mild steel, plastics, and wood. One side is flat and the other is rounded, giving technicians and tradespeople the flexibility to work concave, convex, and flat surfaces with a single tool. The double-cut tooth pattern on the rounded sides accelerates material removal, making this file well suited for shaping, deburring, and fitting work across a wide range of shop and field applications. It is sold individually and weighs 0.567 pounds.

This file is a standard American pattern hand file used by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople wherever precise hand-filing is required. The half-round profile makes it especially practical for enlarging or dressing round openings, smoothing pipe ends, and fitting mating surfaces. It handles both rough shaping tasks and controlled finishing passes without switching tools.
