Assorted Profiles for Versatile Filing

Precision work often involves a combination of flat surfaces, rounded contours, sharp corners, and narrow openings. Having multiple needle file profiles available allows you to select a shape that makes proper contact with the area being worked.

This 12-piece assortment provides flexibility for detailed projects where a single file shape may not be suitable for every surface.

Whether you're refining a small metal component, adjusting a jewelry setting, or finishing a miniature part, the variety of profiles makes it easier to approach different filing tasks with control.

Fine Cut for Detailed Refinement

Fine-cut needle files are particularly useful when accuracy and surface finish are more important than rapid material removal.

The finer tooth pattern allows material to be removed gradually, helping you maintain control when refining delicate components and intricate features.

These files are well suited for smoothing previously shaped surfaces, removing minor imperfections, and making careful adjustments where precision is essential.

Swiss-Made Chrome Alloy Steel

Manufactured in Switzerland from chrome alloy steel, these files are designed for detailed filing and finishing applications.

Their compact dimensions and fine-cut working surfaces make them a practical addition to a jeweler's bench, watchmaker's workstation, model-making shop, or precision repair toolkit.

Convenient Storage Pouch

The included pouch keeps all 12 files together when not in use.

It provides a convenient way to organize the assortment at your workbench, protect the files during storage, and transport them between work areas.
