At 14.5 inches overall length with a 10-9\/16 inch cut length, this single-cut bastard file removes material at a controlled rate, making it a reliable choice for draw-filing, sharpening saw teeth, and smoothing machined surfaces. The tang end accepts a standard file handle for secure grip during extended use. With a width of 1.14 inches and a thickness of 0.3 inches, the profile suits flat and slightly curved workpiece surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file suits trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, piping, conduit edges, and general metal fabrication. The bastard cut provides medium-coarse stock removal appropriate for initial shaping passes before finishing with a finer cut. Single-cut tooth geometry produces a smoother finish compared to double-cut files and generates lower cutting forces, which is useful when draw-filing pipe ends, burring copper tube, or dressing sheet metal edges in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-cut, bastard coarseness for controlled medium-coarse material removal on metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14.5-inch overall length with 10-9\/16-inch active cut length for reach on larger workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmerican-pattern mill profile suits flat surfaces, saw sharpening, and draw-filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end accepts standard replacement file handles sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-flexible construction maintains consistent tooth engagement across the full cut length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for metal material applications including ferrous stock and general fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use mill file compatible with standard American-pattern file handles.

Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to ensure control and accurate material removal. Keep the file clean of metal filings using a file card or wire brush to maintain cutting efficiency. Do not use this file on hardened steel, as contact with material harder than the file teeth will cause rapid dulling or tooth damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoarseness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bastard Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 inches\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\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.72 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: 21842NN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NICHOLSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698487591218,"sku":"21842NN","price":35.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/06a5507b2428f1b79873fd2a13b34994.jpg?v=1788363647","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nicholson-21842nn-mill-file-14-5-in-single-bastard-cut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
