NICHOLSON 14" LONG ANGLE LATHE FILE BAST

Rapid, free-cutting single-cut files used for finish lathe work on either hard or soft metals.

FEATURES:

• Made on flat blanks.
• Safe edges to protect should or dog.
• Cut faster than regular mill files and leave smoother finish.

(SINGLE-CUT – Single set of parallel, diagonal rows of teeth. Often used with light pressure to produce a smooth surface finish or to put a keen edge of knives, shears or saws.)

COARSENESS:

• Work to be accomplished, roughing or finishing, will determine teeth and coarseness for each application.
• Most American pattern files are available with 3 grades of cut: bastard cut, second cut, and smooth cut.
• The degree of coarseness is greater in longer files, but differences between bastard, second, and smooth are proportionate.
