Grobet USA Swiss Pattern 7-3/4" Half-Round Needle File – Cut 2

Designed for precise shaping and refinement of both flat and curved surfaces, this Grobet USA Swiss Pattern half-round needle file combines a flat face with a rounded face for versatile filing applications.

The half-round profile tapers in both width and thickness toward the point, allowing access to inside curves, rounded openings, concave surfaces, and confined areas. Both working faces are cut, providing controlled material removal on flat surfaces as well as curved profiles.

Measuring 7-3/4" (200mm) overall, this longer needle file provides additional reach and a comfortable working length for detailed bench work. Cut 2 offers a medium cutting action that balances efficient material removal with controlled surface refinement.

Features & Benefits

• Half-Round Profile: Combines a flat face and rounded face for working on both flat and curved surfaces.

• Tapered Design: Narrows toward the point for access to smaller openings, inside curves, and confined areas.

• Double-Cut Working Surfaces: Both faces provide effective material removal for shaping and refinement.

• Cut 2: Medium cutting action offers a balance between material removal and surface finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a half-round needle file used for?

A half-round needle file combines a flat face with a rounded face, making it useful for filing flat surfaces, inside curves, concave areas, rounded openings, and other detailed shapes.

What does Cut 2 mean?

Cut 2 provides a medium cutting action that balances material removal with surface refinement. It is a versatile choice for general-purpose precision filing.

Are both sides of the file usable?

Yes. Both the flat and rounded working surfaces are cut, allowing the file to be used for shaping and refining different surface profiles.

Does the file taper?

Yes. The half-round profile tapers in both width and thickness toward the point, helping it reach smaller openings, tighter curves, and confined areas.

How long is the file?

The overall length is 7-3/4" (200mm).

How wide and thick is the file?

The file measures approximately 1/4" (6.5mm) wide and 5/64" (2.0mm) thick at its widest points.

Does this file require a separate handle?

No. It has an integral round knurled handle designed to provide a secure grip and precise control during detailed filing.

What type of work is this file best suited for?

It is especially useful for jewelry making, precision metalworking, filing inside curves, shaping concave surfaces, and refining small components where controlled material removal is important.

Is this listing for one file?

Yes. This listing is for one half-round needle file in Cut 2.
