Apex Tools Nicholson Mill Bastard File, 8 in, Rectangular, Single Cut, Tapered Width, 2 Square Edges

Sharpens cleanly, cuts steadily, and feels right in your hand.

A straight, no-nonsense file for saw work and metal finishing.

Product Overview:

When you need a file that keeps its bite without getting fussy, this one makes sense. The Apex Tools Nicholson mill bastard file gives you an 8 inch rectangular shape with a single cut on the sides and edges, so you can work with a steady, controlled feel. It is built for sharpening mill or circular saws, and it also handles draw-filing and finishing metals without drama. The two square edges help you stay true along the cut, and the slight taper in width gives it a neat, practical edge. Picture a cleaner line, a quieter stroke, and less second guessing at the bench.

Key Features:

• Rectangular shape: Gives you a steady, familiar profile that sits well on the work and helps you guide each pass with confidence.
• Single cut design: Cuts on the sides and edges in a clean, direct way, so the file feels crisp instead of grabby.
• Two square edges: Lets you keep control along straight surfaces and corners, which is handy when the job needs a tidy finish.
• Tapered width: Narrows slightly as you work, giving you better reach and a bit more finesse where the metal gets awkward.
• Made for saw and metal work: Use it for sharpening mill or circular saws, draw-filing, and finishing metals when you want a smooth, even result.
