Simonds 12-Piece Swiss Needle File Set
This Simonds 83551500 set contains twelve 6 1/4 inch Swiss pattern needle files. The assortment covers barrette, crossing, equalling, flat, half round, joint, knife, marking, round, slitting, square and three-square profiles. Each file features a built-in round handle for grip. The set is designed for detail work on brass, bronze, stainless steel, steel and tin.
For precision metal finishing and hobbyists
The twelve profiles suit jewellers, model makers and toolmakers who need fine shaping and smoothing on small workpieces. The Swiss pattern cut works well on harder metals such as stainless steel. Buyers requiring larger material removal or coarser cuts for heavy stock should consider larger hand files instead.
Twelve profiles in one set
The deciding factor is the inclusion of twelve distinct needle file shapes in a single package. This breadth lets a user match the exact profile to each corner, slot or curve without buying files individually. If a project only needs one or two specific shapes, a smaller selection may be more practical.

Questions about this item
Will the Swiss-pattern needle files need re-cutting or replacement after extended use on stainless steel?
Swiss-pattern files cannot be re-cut; once the teeth dull on stainless steel the individual file must be replaced.
Which of the twelve file profiles will wear fastest during continuous filing of hardened steel?
The slitting and knife profiles have the narrowest cutting faces, so they lose bite first under sustained pressure on hardened steel.
How much heat builds up in the built-in round handles during an all-day session?
The integral round handles stay near ambient temperature because the short 6-1/4 in length limits friction buildup even during prolonged use.
