The history of the Nicholson File Company starts with the invention of a machine that could consistently produce high-quality files in 1864. William Thomas Nicolson revolutionised the file manufacturing industry by proving that his company’s machine-cut files did not only offer more consistent quality than hand-made tools, but they were also more affordable. Today, Nicholson is proud to celebrate 150 years of quality and precision. It offers a wide selection of products used to smooth or sharpen hard materials efficiently, as well as long-lasting tools to quickly shape soft materials. Nicholson tools dominate the international file market, because of their top-quality, innovation and durability. At Australia’s premium tool shop, Gasweld Tool Centre, you can find a wide range of Nicholson tools used for cutting wood, metal and other materials.
