Grobet 31.625 Swiss-pattern Needle File Square Cut 6

Product Description

The GROBET 31.625 is a Swiss-pattern needle file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and fine detail work. Configured in a square profile with a Cut 6 (smooth) tooth pattern, it delivers controlled finishing on metal, plastic, and similar hard materials. The file measures 6.25 inches overall length with a 3-inch length of cut and a face width of 0.09 inches. The tang end accepts a separately sourced handle or can be used bare depending on the task. Machinists, toolmakers, jewelers, and precision tradespeople reach for this type of file when standard-size files are too large for the application.

This file is suited for bench work requiring fine finishing passes, deburring tight slots, fitting keyways, cleaning threads, and refining intricate contours. The square cross-section allows it to work all four flat faces as well as inside right-angle corners. The Cut 6 grading produces a very fine surface finish appropriate for final smoothing rather than aggressive stock removal. Typical use environments include machine shops, tool-and-die operations, jewelry benches, and precision fabrication settings where close-tolerance hand fitting is required.

Key Features

• Square file profile works four flat faces and inside 90-degree corners simultaneously
• Cut 6 Swiss-pattern tooth grading delivers fine finishing with minimal material removal per stroke
• 3-inch length of cut concentrates working surface for precision hand fitting
• 0.09-inch face width allows access to narrow slots, keyways, and tight recesses
• Tang end compatible with standard needle file handles sold separately
• Needle file classification suits detailed bench work where full-size files cannot reach

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for use in precision hand-filing applications across metalworking, toolmaking, and jewelry trades where a Cut 6 square profile is specified.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or special installation. Secure a properly sized handle onto the tang before extended use to reduce fatigue and improve control. Inspect the file for cracks or missing teeth before each use, and never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool. Store files separated from other cutting tools to protect the tooth pattern.
