And they decided not to really double cut the file like the old one, but just lightly score a single cut file and call it a double cut, as you can see here. Who really needs two cuts after all? :loco:

Steve,
Have a look at
He does the first cut and then files the tops off before doing the second cut.
I'm guessing that's so the file creates small filings - a bit like a roughing mill with staggered teeth.
Phil.

Steve, that quasi double cut file needs returning to the seller - it's not good enough - don't accept it.
vtsteam:
Thanks Phil that was a great video :thumbup: I enjoyed seeing it. Quite a lot larger hammer than I imagined being used. It makes me want to try making a file by hand some day.
I think the files I bought haven't been reduced in one direction to improve the file. The older file from the same maker shows even cross cuts. I don't know why these newer ones are different.
Andrew, I've already used both files, trying them out before I took photos for here, and noticed the difference in cut. Guess I should have looked closely before with glasses on. They did cut okay, and I can use them. But just not what I thought would be exact replacements for my other one.
I'm thinking of writing to Nicholson, about these, and see what they have to say. :beer:
awemawson:
Steve it has to be a manufacturing defect, and more to the point an inspection defect, if there was any. Used or not send them back if only for the sake of the next buyer. When we accept poor standards they have a tendency to become the norm.
Arbalist:
I'm with Andrew, they don't look very well made at all. I've seen a better cut on cheap files.
