It features a single cut tooth pattern with a second cut coarseness, which produces a moderately smooth finish suited for general stock removal and surface refining. The file measures 5\/16 inch in diameter and includes a tang end for use with a standard file handle. It is a non-flexible, solid construction file intended for hand filing operations performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis round file is well suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications, including filing pipe ends, shaping conduit knockouts, smoothing weld beads on round stock, and enlarging circular openings in sheet metal or wood framing. The single cut pattern and second cut coarseness make it a practical choice for controlled material removal where a finer finish is needed compared to a bastard cut file. It is commonly used in shop environments, job sites, and field service applications across plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound profile suited for filing curved surfaces, circular openings, and contoured workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle cut tooth pattern for controlled stock removal and smoother surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSecond cut coarseness balances material removal rate with finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch cut length provides good reach and leverage for hand filing tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch diameter keeps the file manageable for tight-radius work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end accepts standard file handles for a secure grip during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style American-pattern round file compatible with standard file handles sized for tang-style files used in general trade and shop applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways fit a properly sized handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and avoid injury. Apply consistent forward strokes with moderate pressure and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and use a file card or brush to clean the teeth as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoarseness\/Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: Second Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 11936\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NICHOLSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51712921731378,"sku":"11936","price":21.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/27142b40be4fa7204c1439dbf652fe2f_3576d924-cea3-40b8-ae54-991d59246049.jpg?v=1788489538","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nicholson-11936-round-american-pattern-file-8-in-single-cut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
