The woodworking files are one of the best smoothing tools you can have for your wooden surfaces and combined with the rasps – card scrapers – sandpapers ,et.c , they give amazing results .
You can find many types and brand files in the markets and the wood stores and of course the Nicholson files , “dominate” this area too , as the rasps area .
