Move your source of manufacturing and this is what happens! A new learning curve they are going through. Costly one at that. Nicholson probably went through this a years ago until they got it right.
Once the source of manufacturing was moved, those little secrets were lost. I deal with similar issue like this about every year or so, almost anytime a new heat treater is used or a new source of manufacturing is used. And you try to explain this to them, they don't savy. Take a file hit the surface,. They still don't savy! The trend in large companies seems to be keeping the phone numbers, etc. Around , I dated a girl who worked for the local Hewlett Packard office.
On day someone called wanting to speak directly to David Packard. The office personnel debated about it and finally contacted Mr. He told them to give the customer his phone number and when called, listened politely and dealt with the problem. Try that with HP now.

The move is expected to be completed in April , according to the memo. In addition to the Cullman plant, locations in Monroe, North Carolina and Hicksville, Ohio are also being shuttered as part of the restructuring. I always like in times like these when the ex-workers of the plant go out and get some money and go into competition with their former employers.
Just wondering if anyone from the old Nicholson plant has tried making files on their own yet? If I were them I would have a big about us on their website and boast that "We were the ones laid off by Nicholson to chase lower cost mfg, only to bring lower quality and higher prices! I could get through to the actual workman foreman who made the stamps. Last time,several years ago,we needed several new stamps. I could only speak to a rather pushy woman. This can be useful when truing a workpiece or for removing material.
As with any application involving your hands and face, and revolving tools, lathe filing requires with much care and attention. Soft, ductile metals require a keen edge and light pressure. Harder materials require duller teeth and more pressure. Tough, dense and abrasive, stainless steel requires a file with good wearing qualities. Apply light pressure and a slow, steady stroke.
Soft and difficult to file, aluminum easily clogs. Use an aluminum file, with a special cutting edge that breaks up the filings, prevents over filing, and helps reduce chattering. Apply a shearing stroke to the left for the best finish. Filing brass requires a sharp file with sturdy teeth and a cut that prevents grooving and running. Use a specifically designed brass file, and apply moderate pressure. Wear a Respirator! Soft materials such as lead, babbitt and copper present distinct filing conditions.
Use a short, single cut file with stubby teeth. Apply normal pressure. Similar to brass but dependent on the content of alloying elements. Cross the direction of the cutting stroke to avoid grooving. Wrought iron is soft and ductile and does not require a very sharp file for good results. Hard plastic requires a file with high, sharp teeth. Soft plastics are filed in shreds, so a shear tooth file should be used in this application, as well as in other soft materials like aluminum, copper, hard rubber and wood.
There are a number of simple steps you can take to ensure your files last a long time. Keep the pressure off. Apply only enough pressure to allow the file to do the work. Feel the teeth biting into the workpiece. Your movement should be fluid and smooth. Applying the correct pressure will also result in the fastest removal of material, even if it takes a few more strokes to get the job done.
Soft material such as aluminum can clog cutting teeth, even when you use a file designed for aluminum and soft metals. Protect the teeth. Tossing your files in with all your metal tools is not a good idea! Ideally, hang them up or keep them in a drawer with non-metallic dividers and enough room to fit without a lot of contact. Store them away from water, dirt, grease and filings. Keep it clean and clear. Remember that filing creates heat and filings are sharp. Cleaning your file by hand is one way to pick up a metal sliver.
Instead, use a file card, which clears away filings before they get stuck in the file—or in your finger. It shows the various types of hand files, organized by pattern and profile. He's a playboy newspaper columnist who can't quite give up his old tricks.

The new is made in Brazil and does not cut anywhere near as good as the used USA made rasp, so I do not use it. I have a broken in half file in the shop that says made in Finland only that is superior to any other ones I have. Nicholson absorbed a number of US file makers including Johnson and Kelly.
I have a booklet my late father got from Nicholson before I was born called "File Filosophy". Simonds was independent of Nicholson and was better known as a saw maker.
I've had a number of Simonds files and always found them to be as good as an original Nicholson file. My father used to tell me stories of his boyhood in the Williamsburgh section of Brooklyn.
Dad was born in He said as a kid, he'd wander onto the docks along the East River. Dad said there were barges tied up loaded with scrap steel, headed to Buffalo. On some of those barges, there were reject files from a file factory in Brooklyn. Dad said the barge captains used to let him pick over the scrap piles and get some of those files. I have them yet in my shop.
Dad also used to point out a small mansion of a house in his old neighborhood. It was a red sandstone house, far above anything else in terms of style and size.
It had a turret on one corner which has curved glass in the window sashes. Dad said that house had belonged to the owner of the file works. Dad never told me the name of the file works, and the reject files were actually quite usable. I know Nicholson had been in Providence, Rhode Island when they were an independent company. They became part of a conglomerate Cooper group, possibly , and likely now exist only as a name with the files made offshore.
