Purpose-built precision filing
The Simonds 83505500 is a rectangular needle file designed for smooth-cut detail work on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its Swiss-pattern single-cut profile and safe edges suit jewellers, model makers and engineers who need controlled material removal in tight spaces.
Verify material and profile match the task
Confirm the workpiece is one of the listed metals and that a rectangular, single-cut face with four safe edges fits the geometry you are finishing. The file body is rigid with a natural finish and ships in a box; no insulation is present on the handle.
Hand-operated thermal and noise profile
The tool generates negligible heat and noise during normal hand use because it has no motor or power draw. Power consumption is zero and operating temperature remains ambient, making it suitable for extended bench sessions without thermal concerns.

Questions about this item
Does the Simonds 83505500 needle file come in a box or do I need a separate case?

Which coarseness should I choose for fine detail work on steel?
This file is a smooth-cut Swiss pattern with finish number 0, suited for fine detail on steel and other listed metals.
What does the 5 1/2 inch file length mean for reach inside a workpiece?
The 5 1/2 inch length without tang gives that much cutting reach from the handle end.
