Nicholson 8-in. Milled-Tooth Flat Float File Review
This float file is ideal for fine-tuning scribe cuts on baseboard, brickmold, or filler strips for built-in cabinets
Float files have been around for at least a century but went under the radar around 20 years ago. With the introduction of these files from Nicholson, they’re available in two styles: both sides flat or with one flat and one round side. Each style has the traditional extremely sharp teeth whose curved edges automatically impart a shearing cut. While the float files require a firm hand, they cut faster than other files and leave a smoother finish than rasps. They’re also far beefier than Surform- or Microplane-style rasps.
