The Crescent Nicholson half-round double-cut bastard file is a versatile hand tool designed for rapid material removal on wood, metal, plastics, and other materials containing iron or mild steel. Its half-round shape—rounded on one side and flat on the other—makes it ideal for working both curved and flat surfaces, allowing you to round out holes, smooth interior curves, and finish exterior edges in a single tool.
Bastard-cut files feature a medium-coarse grade that strikes a balance between speed and surface finish, making them suitable for a wide range of general-purpose filing tasks. The double-cut design cuts twice as fast as single-cut files, removing material efficiently and saving time on projects where speed matters.
