With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a cut length of 2.5 inches, this file delivers controlled stock removal on metal, plastic, and other hard materials. The round file shape allows work in circular openings, curved slots, and contoured surfaces where flat or half-round files cannot reach. It carries a Cut 2 rating, indicating a second-cut tooth pattern suited for moderate material removal with a reasonably smooth finish. A tang end is included for use with a compatible handle, which must be sourced separately. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators are the primary users of this file type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis needle file is well suited for deburring, shaping, and finishing operations in tool and die work, precision machining, and general metalworking. Its compact 5.5-inch overall length makes it practical for bench work and detail filing in confined areas. The 0.11-inch width keeps the file profile narrow, which is appropriate for fine-detail work on small parts, ports, and orifices. It is also commonly used in maintenance and repair applications where precision fitting or surface cleanup is required on close-tolerance components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound file shape accesses circular openings, curved slots, and contoured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut 2 tooth pattern provides moderate material removal with a smooth surface result\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5.5-inch overall length with a 2.5-inch cutting length for focused, controlled filing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNarrow 0.11-inch profile suits fine-detail and precision finishing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTang end design accepts a separately sourced handle for secure grip during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwiss-pattern construction for consistent tooth geometry and repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a needle-style Swiss-pattern file for use in precision metalworking, tool and die, and general fabrication applications requiring a round profile and Cut 2 tooth pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis file requires a separate handle fitted onto the tang before use to ensure safe operation and proper control. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to prevent movement and reduce the risk of injury. Apply consistent, moderate pressure on the forward stroke and lift or reduce pressure on the return stroke to extend file life. Inspect the file for cracks or damage before each use and do not use a file as a pry bar or hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Swiss-Pattern Needle File\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 (Second Cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\/Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tang (handle not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: None included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NICHOLSON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T37423\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NICHOLSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692056609074,"sku":"T37423","price":29.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3400920762a809a1ede21ccf05bfda6c_50901978-b24e-47e4-b332-e1e7910919e1.jpg?v=1788292474","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nicholson-t37423-swiss-pattern-round-needle-file-cut-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
