  • Swiss-pattern precision for fine metalwork

  • Rigid 1/16 in thick body resists flex in tight spaces

Square-profile needle file

The Simonds 83528000 is a single-cut, Swiss-pattern needle file with a square cross-section and a round handle. It is designed for precise material removal on aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin in fine-detail work such as jewellery, model-making or tool-room fitting.

Smooth cut and safe edges

The smooth-cut teeth on all four faces give a controlled finish without aggressive stock removal, while the safe edges protect adjacent surfaces from accidental marking. The rigid, tapered body reaches into slots, keyways and internal corners, but the 6 1/4 inch length and 1/16 inch thickness limit leverage on larger workpieces.

Hand-filing interface limits

As a manual tool, cutting speed and consistency depend entirely on operator pressure and stroke rate, so repetitive or high-volume tasks become fatiguing. The single-cut pattern loads more easily on soft alloys like aluminium or tin, requiring frequent cleaning to maintain the smooth finish.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 1/4 in needle file reach into the same tight engine bays as my existing 4 in files?

The 6 1/4 in overall length gives extra reach while the 1/8 in square profile still fits narrow slots your shorter files already handle.

How do I confirm the smooth-cut finish is producing the surface quality I expect on steel?

Run the file across a test piece of steel; a consistent, fine scratch pattern without deep grooves shows the single-cut smooth finish is working correctly.

Does the box include a handle or do I need to buy one separately for the tapered tang?

The supplier description lists a round handle as part of the item, so no separate handle purchase is required.
