The file measures 4 inches overall length with a 2-inch length of cut, a width of 0.16 inches, and a thickness of 0.06 inches. The tang-style end accepts standard file handles sold separately. At the needle file level of precision, this tool is suited for machinists, toolmakers, die makers, and maintenance technicians who need controlled material removal in tight tolerances or intricate profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwiss-pattern needle files at Cut 2 produce a medium-fine cut, making this file appropriate for deburring, fitting, and finish work on close-tolerance parts. The half round profile provides two working surfaces: a flat face for flat or convex surfaces and a curved face for concave radii, slots, and curved recesses. This file sees regular use in machine shops, tool and die shops, mold repair, and general maintenance environments where precision hand-filing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf round profile offers both a flat cutting face and a curved cutting face for versatile material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut 2 Swiss-pattern tooth geometry provides medium-fine stock removal with controlled surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeedle file precision level suited for detail work in tight spaces and intricate geometries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length with a 2-inch length of cut for compact handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end compatible with standard file handles for ergonomic use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.16-inch width and 0.06-inch thickness for access to narrow slots and recesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for use with compatible tang-style file handles; no specific system or equipment compatibility is stated for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall a properly sized tang handle before use to reduce hand fatigue and improve control.
