Nicholson 08832NN 14 in Mill File Single Cut Bastard

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 08832NN is a 14-inch American-pattern mill file designed for metal filing, deburring, and surface finishing tasks in trade and industrial environments. It features a single-cut, bastard-cut tooth pattern, which removes material at a controlled rate and leaves a moderately smooth finish. The file measures 14 inches in overall length, 1-5/16 inches wide, and 1/4 inch thick, with a tang end for use with a separate handle. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance technicians reach for this style of file when shaping, smoothing, or cleaning metal components on-site or in the shop.

This mill file is suited for general metalworking applications including smoothing weld seams, dressing tooling edges, and shaping flat metal stock. It is appropriate for use on ferrous metals and similar materials in residential, commercial, and industrial service environments. The single-cut bastard tooth pattern makes it practical for work requiring steady stock removal with good surface control, particularly on flat or near-flat surfaces.

Installation Notes

This file requires a separate handle fitted to the tang before use to prevent hand injury during operation. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and avoid personal injury. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use, and never strike a file against hard surfaces, as the hardened steel is brittle. File handles should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked or loose.
