## Overview

The Crescent Nicholson 00024N is an 8-inch flat double-cut aluminum Type A file designed for efficient smoothing and shaping of aluminum and its alloys. Featuring a tapered rectangular shape for slot access, double-cut American pattern teeth for rapid material removal, and a tang for optional handle use, this file combines precision and durability for professional-grade metalworking.

## Description

The Nicholson flat hand file for aluminum has a rectangular shape with double-cut American pattern Type A teeth on both sides for smoothing and shaping straight surfaces, and provides good chip clearance for a smooth finish when filing aluminum and aluminum alloys. The file tapers slightly toward the point in width to ease access into slots. It has double-cut American pattern teeth on each side for rapid material removal. 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 have 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, more precise finish than equivalent American pattern files.Nicholson manufactures hand tools and power tool accessories. The company is headquartered in Sparks, MD.

Review: Good quality - Did the job well
Review: Great for Aluminum! Learn How to Clean It! - Working great and as intended. Filing the burrs off of aluminum. I'm just using it without a handle and I think it's fine. I'd definitely recommend gloves when doing this, and perhaps eye protection as well. The aluminum shavings will get ... everywhere. Do it outside or over a garbage etc. Or both. I researched some ways of cleaning these...the bes method is taking a piece of wood (in a wedge/door stop shape typically), or even brass or copper. If using brass or copper you want a flat end, like a credit card side. You take your chosen medium and push it with the lines of the file, so that you will create/cut little micro 'teeth' in your wood/copper. After a couple passes, the teeth will push out all of the aluminum filings stuck inside. It's beautiful. I feel the wood would be the least potentially damaging.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must for aluminium work
*by M***L on April 16, 2015*

I am building a light aircraft and do a lot of aluminum shaping by hand. Having used a lot of standard files I was skeptical, but these files absolutely do not pin up (or clog), regardless of how much aluminum you remove. They look too aggressive and can remove a lot of material if required, but used the right way, they leave a smooth finish that requires little additional finishing. This is the largest of 3 that I bought, and is the one I use the most. A word of advice, don't throw files in a drawer, hang them up or rack them so that they don't bash against each other, or they will quickly lose their edges.
