Value Collection 2102TF Fine Barrette Needle Diamond File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2102TF is a fine-grade barrette-style needle diamond file designed for precision material removal on hard surfaces including hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and glass. The file measures 5.5 inches overall length with a 2.75-inch length of cut, a width of 13/64 inches (0.203 inches), and a thickness of 3/32 inches. The barrette profile features a flat cutting face with safe edges, making it well suited for filing slots, notches, and flat surfaces where adjacent walls must be protected. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of file.

This needle file is used in applications requiring fine finishing and deburring in tight or confined areas. Its slim profile and fine diamond grit make it appropriate for work on molds, dies, gauges, and precision tooling. It is also commonly used in electronics and instrument repair where controlled, light material removal is needed. The fine grade produces a smooth surface finish while still cutting efficiently on hard materials.

Key Features

• Barrette needle profile with a flat cutting face and safe edges for protected adjacent surfaces
• Fine diamond grit grade for smooth finishing and light material removal
• 2.75-inch length of cut provides usable working surface in tight spaces
• Slim cross-section at 13/64 inches wide and 3/32 inches thick for access to narrow slots and notches
• 5.5-inch overall length offers comfortable hand control during precision work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fine barrette needle diamond file suitable for use on hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, glass, and other hard materials in precision machining and toolroom applications.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or mounting. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Apply light, consistent pressure on the forward stroke and lift on the return to extend diamond grit life. Keep the file clean and dry; avoid dropping the file, as diamond abrasive coatings can fracture on impact.
