Simonds 83526500 Round Handle Needle File No 2 tool storage

Swiss Pattern Needle File No 2

The Simonds 83526500 is a Swiss pattern needle file designed for precise material removal on aluminum, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its smooth cut and single-cut face produce a controlled finish for detail work. The half-round profile and safe edges allow shaping of curved surfaces without damaging adjacent areas. This tool suits jewellers, model makers and mechanics who need fine hand finishing.

Consistent feel during extended use

The rigid body and taper towards the point maintain steady pressure across the 6 1/4 in file length without flexing. A smooth cut coarseness removes material evenly stroke after stroke rather than grabbing aggressively. The natural finish on the file body reduces drag on non-ferrous metals during long sessions. Operators can sustain a uniform finish without frequent changes in technique.

Round handle and safe-edge construction

A 6 1/4 in round handle provides a secure grip for delicate manipulation in tight spaces. Safe edges prevent the file from cutting into shoulders or corners when working inside profiles. The 1/4 in width and 1/16 in thickness fit narrow slots and intricate contours common in precision assembly. The uninsulated handle conducts temperature, giving tactile feedback on workpiece heat.
