Grobet USA 7-3/4" Barrette Needle File – Cut 2

Designed for precise shaping and finishing, this Grobet USA barrette needle file combines a long, slender profile with a tapered working surface for excellent control when filing small components, angles, recesses, and detailed areas.

The barrette profile tapers in both width and thickness toward the point. Only the flat face is cut, while the top and edges are smooth, or safe. This allows material to be removed from the intended surface while helping protect adjacent areas from accidental filing.

At 7-3/4" (200mm) overall, this larger needle file provides additional reach and a 4-1/8" cutting portion while retaining the precision and control needed for detailed bench work. Cut 2 provides a medium cutting action that offers a useful balance between material removal and surface refinement.
