Apex Tools Nicholson Mill Bastard File, 6 in, Rectangular, Single Cut, Square Edges

Built for clean metal shaping and steady saw sharpening.

A square, no nonsense file that gives you control when the job needs a sure hand.

Product Overview:

A mill bastard file sounds plain, and honestly, that's part of the charm. The Nicholson 6 in rectangular file gives you a firm, even bite for sharpening mill or circular saws, and for draw filing and finishing metal when you want the surface to come back neat. Its single cut on the sides and edges keeps the action predictable, while the two square edges help you stay crisp on the work. It tapers a bit in width, so it feels balanced in the hand. Picture the metal settling into shape instead of fighting you. That's the good bit.

Key Features:

• Rectangular shape gives you a steady, even feel, so your strokes stay true and the work does not wander.
• Single cut on sides and edges lets the file cut cleanly, with a smoother, more controlled pull through metal.
• Two square edges help you keep corners sharp, which is handy when the detail really matters.
• Made for sharpening saws so you can bring mill or circular saws back to a usable edge without a fuss.
• Works for draw filing and finishing when you want to tidy metal surfaces and hear that clean, light rasp as you go.
