The files come with a rectangular cross-section, and they offer single-cuts on both sides and edges. All models in this range are slightly tapering from the heel to the tip in width, which allows for having more control while sharpening tasks. The American-style mill files from Nicholson come in three varieties. The smooth cut files offer fine cuts, while the second cut ones provide medium cuts. Files are also provided with a bastard cut for giving you coarse cuts on your workpieces. The files are offered in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14-inch-length models. The lengths are measured from the tip of the files to their heels. The files have a tang at the end, which can be attached to a handle if need be. These single-cut files are equipped with a single set of parallel, diagonal rows of sharp teeth. You can use these multipurpose files to get a sharp edge for knives, shears, lawnmower blades, etc. The files are great at sharpening mill saws and draw filing. You can sharpen large circular saws without taking them from the saw by using this single-cut mill file. However, while doing so, you have to make sure that the milling action is not causing chatter.
