Simonds Files

Simonds Saw & Steel Co. of Fitchburg, Massachusetts produced some of the best files made in the USA. Simonds bought Heller Brothers of Newcomerstown, Ohio in 1955. Simonds continued to make files in Fitchburg until 1960, when file manufacturing was consolidated in Newcomerstown. Simonds closed that plant in 2006 and moved production to South America. The horse rasp product line was sold to Musted of Switzerland.
