Value Collection 2122M Medium Taper Needle Diamond File

Product Description

The Value Collection 2122M is a medium-grade taper needle diamond file designed for precision filing work in tight spaces and on hard materials. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 2.75-inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled material removal on hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and similar hard substrates. The taper needle profile tapers to a fine point, allowing access to slots, keyways, and narrow contours that standard files cannot reach. The 13/64-inch width and 3/64-inch thickness make it well suited for detail work requiring a light touch and accurate hand control. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and precision fabricators are the primary users of this file style.

This taper needle diamond file fits into general metalworking, toolroom, and maintenance applications where conventional abrasives are inadequate. It is commonly used to deburr EDM-machined surfaces, clean up blind slots, touch up carbide tooling, and refine tight-tolerance fits on hardened components. The medium grade balances material removal rate with surface finish, making it appropriate for both stock removal and final cleanup passes on demanding materials.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand file for toolroom, metalworking, and maintenance applications requiring a taper needle profile with medium-grade diamond abrasive.

Installation Notes

Diamond files are hand tools and do not require power equipment or special installation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling files and secure the workpiece firmly before filing. Apply consistent, moderate pressure on the forward stroke and lift on the return stroke to extend abrasive life. Clean the file face periodically with a brass brush to prevent loading and maintain cutting efficiency.
