Grobet 31.590 Swiss-pattern Round File Cut 0

Product Description

The GROBET 31.590 is a Swiss-pattern needle file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and detailed finishing work. It features a round file shape with a Cut 0 coarseness, making it suitable for aggressive stock removal on metal, plastic, and similar materials. The overall length is 6.25 inches, with a 3-inch length of cut and a 0.14-inch width at the working section. The tang end accepts a separate handle, which is sold independently. This file is used by machinists, toolmakers, jewelers, and trade professionals who require controlled, repeatable filing in confined areas.

Swiss-pattern needle files like the GROBET 31.590 are commonly used in metalworking shops, maintenance environments, and precision fabrication settings. The round profile allows it to work inside circular openings, curved channels, and contoured recesses. Cut 0 is the coarsest grade in the Swiss-pattern system, suited for initial shaping and faster material removal before finishing passes with finer cuts. This file is appropriate for both bench work and field service applications where a compact, precision-grade file is needed.

Key Features

• Round file profile for working curved recesses, holes, and contoured surfaces
• Cut 0 coarseness for aggressive stock removal in the Swiss-pattern grading system
• 3-inch length of cut provides ample working surface for needle-file applications
• 0.14-inch width keeps the working section compact for access in tight spaces
• Tang end design accepts a standard needle-file handle for improved grip and control
• Swiss-pattern construction for consistent tooth geometry and repeatable performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision hand tool compatible with standard needle-file handles that accept a tang-style mount. Suitable for general metalworking, toolroom, and maintenance applications requiring a round Swiss-pattern file.

Installation Notes

This file requires a separate tang-style handle before use - operating a tang file without a handle increases the risk of injury from the exposed tang point. Inspect the file for cracks or chipped teeth before each use and do not apply lateral force that could snap the file body. File in one direction with moderate pressure; avoid rocking the file across the work surface to maintain tooth life and cutting accuracy.
