Simonds 5-1/2in Triangular Needle File
This Simonds needle file is a Swiss pattern hand tool designed for precise detail work on metals such as aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its rigid triangular profile tapers toward the point and features single-cut faces and edges. The smooth-cut finish number 2 removes material with control. It arrives new in a protective box.
Users needing fine metal detailing versus heavy
The file suits jewellers, model makers and mechanics who need accurate shaping in tight spaces. The 5-1/2in length and 7/64in thickness give good reach without sacrificing stiffness. Buyers who want rapid material removal or a file for large flat surfaces should look at something else because the single-cut pattern and narrow width limit aggression and contact area.
5-1/2in file length without tang
The working length of the file body is 5-1/2in, measured without the tang. This dimension decides whether the tool reaches the features you must finish. Confirm the reach matches your application before ordering.

Questions about this item
Does the 83510500 needle file cut metal or only wood?
It cuts aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin, so it handles both soft and hard metals.
What handle diameter or grip style does the round handle use?
The round handle is integral to the file body and tapers toward the point for fingertip control.
How do you mount the file in a bench vise without damaging the tang?
Clamp only the knurled handle section; the tang is unhardened and will bend if gripped directly.
