PFERD 04016 Diamond Needle File
The PFERD 04016 is a flat, medium-grade diamond needle file measuring 5-1/2 inches in length. It is designed for precision filing tasks on hard materials such as hardened steel, ceramics, and glass. The diamond coating provides consistent abrasion for detailed shaping and finishing work. This tool suits professionals and hobbyists requiring fine material removal in tight spaces.
Ideal for detail work on hard surfaces
This file suits jewellers, toolmakers, and model engineers who need to shape or finish intricate components. It is not intended for rapid stock removal on soft metals like aluminium or copper, where the diamond grit may clog. Buyers who need a set of profiles for varied geometries should look at something else. Users requiring a coarser or finer grit for specific surface finishes must select a different grade.
Medium grit flat profile
The medium grit rating defines the cutting aggressiveness and resulting surface finish of this specific file. A medium grade balances material removal rate with surface smoothness for general-purpose precision tasks. Selecting a coarse or fine grade instead would change the cutting speed and final texture significantly. Match the grit to the application requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does the Pferd 04016 diamond needle file come with a protective sleeve or handle, or must I purchase one separately?
The item is the diamond needle file itself; any handle or storage sleeve is sold separately.
The listing shows a single 5-1/2 inch medium flat version; are other cuts or lengths available under the same model?
Only the 5-1/2 inch medium flat configuration is offered for this part number.
How does the medium cut on a 5-1/2 inch flat diamond needle file perform on hardened tool steel in a home workshop?
The medium grit removes material steadily on hardened steel while leaving a finish that usually needs only light stoning afterwards.
