Value Collection 2142C Coarse Square Needle Diamond File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2142C is a coarse-grade square needle diamond file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and detailed work. With an overall length of 5-1/2 inches and a length of cut (LOC) of 2-3/4 inches, this file delivers concentrated cutting action in a compact, hand-held form. The square profile measures 3/32 inches wide by 3/32 inches thick, making it suited for filing slots, keyways, square holes, and internal corners. Diamond abrasive construction provides aggressive stock removal on hard materials including carbide, hardened steel, ceramics, and glass. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians typically use needle files of this type for deburring, sharpening, and fitting precision components.

This needle diamond file is well suited for bench work in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Its compact needle-style format fits into confined areas where standard files cannot reach. Typical applications include cleaning up EDM-cut edges, refining die cavities, sharpening carbide tooling, and deburring hardened parts. The coarse grade cuts fast and is appropriate where surface finish is secondary to material removal rate.

Key Features

• Square profile for filing slots, keyways, and internal square corners
• Coarse diamond grade for aggressive stock removal on hard materials
• 2-3/4 inch length of cut concentrates abrasive action where needed
• Compact 5-1/2 inch overall length for hand control and access in tight areas
• Diamond abrasive works on carbide, hardened steel, ceramics, and glass

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand file compatible with standard needle file handles and suitable for use on hard, abrasive-resistant materials that conventional files cannot effectively cut.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for hand files. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing hardened or brittle materials. Keep the file stroke consistent and avoid excessive lateral pressure, which can cause diamond abrasive to dislodge prematurely.
