Crescent Nicholson 38003 Swiss Pattern Needle File 6.25in

Product Description

The CRESCENT NICHOLSON 38003 is a Swiss pattern three-square needle file designed for precision material removal in fine detail work. Measuring 6.25 inches in overall length, it features a Barrette profile with a Cut 0 (smooth) tooth pattern, making it suited for finishing and light stock removal on hardened or delicate surfaces. The round knurled handle provides consistent grip during close-tolerance work. Each file ships with a protective plastic pouch. This tool is sold in a pack of 12, making it practical for shop stocking or tool-room supply.

Swiss pattern needle files at Cut 0 are used primarily by jewelers, die makers, watchmakers, and fine toolmakers who require precise control over filing action on intricate workpieces. The three-square cross-section allows access to internal angles, grooves, and tight corners that standard flat or round files cannot reach. These files are well suited for tool-and-die shops, jewelry benches, watch repair stations, and precision machining environments where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Key Features

• Swiss pattern Cut 0 tooth grade for fine finishing and smooth material removal
• Three-square (triangular) cross-section for filing internal angles and tight corners
• Barrette profile provides cutting on specific faces while protecting adjacent surfaces
• Round knurled handle for consistent grip during precision work
• Individual protective plastic pouch included with each file
• Pack of 12 for shop stocking or tool-room replenishment

Compatibility

Designed for use in jeweling, die-making, watchmaking, and fine toolmaking applications requiring Swiss pattern needle files with a three-square Barrette profile.

Installation Notes

Needle files are hand tools requiring no power source or installation. Always inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use. Use light, consistent strokes and avoid lateral pressure that can snap the file shank. Store files separately or in their protective pouches to prevent cross-contact damage to cutting surfaces.
