The Nicholson rasp file has a rectangular shape with extra thickness, has American pattern rasp-cut teeth on one side and double-cut American pattern teeth on the other side, and is for use on hot metal. The American Pattern rasp-cut teeth are for aggressive material removal. The double-cut American pattern teeth on the reverse side are for rapid removal of material on straight surfaces. The file has single-cut teeth on the edges for sharpening and deburring. The tang can be used with an optional handle for secure gripping (sold separately).
Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother finish than equivalent American pattern files. For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade, not counting the tang, which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length, including the tang.
Nicholson manufactures hand tools and power tool accessories. The company is headquartered in Sparks, MD.

Mind your fingers
Big heavy file which removes material nice and quick. I use the file to true up edges of cabinets etc and it makes quick work. Mind you fingers as it will eat those too!!
