It features a single-cut pattern on both sides and edges, making it well suited for controlled stock removal and producing smooth finishes on steel and similar materials. Two square edges allow edge filing without rounding adjacent surfaces. The file tapers slightly in width along its length, a standard mill file geometry that aids access in stepped or shouldered work. Sold individually without a handle. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general trade professionals who need precise manual filing in the shop or field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 08243NN is appropriate for bench work and field maintenance tasks involving mild steel, cast iron, and similar metals. Its bastard cut provides a mid-range tooth pitch, offering faster cutting than a second-cut or smooth file while still leaving a workable surface. At 6 inches in length, it fits standard file handles and works well for smaller workpieces, edge cleanup on pipe, deburring conduit ends, and general metalwork encountered across the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cut pattern on sides and edges for controlled, smooth filing action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo square edges allow precise edge filing without undercutting adjacent surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBastard cut tooth pitch balances material removal rate with surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight width taper along length for access in tight or stepped areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch length fits standard aftermarket file handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as individual file without handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 6-inch mill file compatible with any file handle sized for a 6-inch file tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFile handles are sold separately and should be properly seated on the tang before use to prevent injury. Always file with controlled strokes and secure the workpiece in a vise to maintain accuracy. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use. Files should not be used on hardened steel, as contact with hardened surfaces can cause tooth fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight (Thickness)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.075 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 Square Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NICHOLSON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 08243NN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NICHOLSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345952407858,"sku":"08243NN","price":85.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310536349.jpg?v=1782067337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nicholson-08243nn-mill-file-6-in-single-cut-bastard","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
