Value Collection 2122C Coarse Taper Needle Diamond File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2122C is a coarse-grade taper needle diamond file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and narrow grooves. The taper profile allows access to restricted areas where standard files cannot reach. With an overall length of 5-1/2 inches and a 2-3/4 inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled cutting action across a focused working surface. The diamond abrasive construction handles hard materials including carbide, hardened steel, ceramics, and glass. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians use this file for deburring, sharpening, and fine-fitting work on precision components.

This needle file suits bench work applications in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities. The coarse grade removes material efficiently on initial shaping passes. The tapered geometry narrows toward the tip, making it practical for cleaning up slots, keyways, and tight internal contours. It is suited for use on hardened metals, tool steels, and non-ferrous materials where a conventional file would not cut effectively.

Key Features

• Diamond abrasive construction cuts hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and glass
• Coarse grade for aggressive material removal and initial shaping
• Taper needle profile for access to narrow slots, grooves, and internal contours
• 5-1/2 inch overall length provides a comfortable grip and controlled stroke
• 2-3/4 inch length of cut concentrates cutting action on the working surface
• Compact cross-section — 13/64 inches wide by 3/64 inches thick — fits tight clearances

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coarse taper needle diamond file suitable for bench filing, deburring, and sharpening tasks on hardened and abrasion-resistant materials in machine shop and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Apply consistent, moderate pressure on the forward stroke and lift on the return to preserve the diamond abrasive surface. Avoid twisting the file in confined slots, as side loading can fracture the thin cross-section. Clean the file periodically with a file card or stiff brush to remove embedded swarf and maintain cutting efficiency.
