In 1864, William Thomas Nicholson invented the machine that could consistently produce high-quality files and subsequently launched the Nicholson File Company. In doing so, he revolutionized the film manufacturing industry. In an era when hand-made files were preferred, Nicholson proved his company’s machine-cut files were not only more affordable but offered more consistent quality than hand-made tools.
