Value Collection 2152F Half Round Needle Diamond File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2152F is a fine-grade half round needle diamond file designed for precision material removal in tight spaces and detailed work. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 2.75-inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled abrasion on hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, glass, and other hard materials that conventional files cannot address. The half round profile provides two working surfaces in a single tool: a flat face for straight surfaces and a curved face for concave contours and slots. It measures 13/64 inches (0.203 inches) wide and 1/16 inches thick at the working section. Machinists, toolmakers, HVAC technicians, and electricians keep needle files in their kits for deburring drilled holes, cleaning burrs from pipe threads, and fitting precision components.

This needle file suits bench work and field service alike. The fine grade is appropriate for finishing passes, light deburring, and refining fits after rougher cutting operations. Typical applications include deburring copper tubing fittings, smoothing conduit knockouts, cleaning thread profiles, filing keyways, and dressing contact surfaces. The compact needle format allows access to restricted areas where a standard file cannot fit, making it a practical choice for both shop and field technicians working with tight tolerances.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides flat and curved cutting surfaces in one tool
• Fine grade abrasive for finishing, light deburring, and precision fitting work
• 2.75-inch length of cut delivers usable working surface on a compact tool
• Diamond abrasive construction handles hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and glass
• Needle file form factor fits tight spaces and restricted access areas
• 5.5-inch overall length balances reach and control for bench and field use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose needle file suitable for use by machinists, toolmakers, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians requiring fine-grade material removal on hard or hardened workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Needle files are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Apply light, consistent pressure on the forward stroke and lift or reduce pressure on the return stroke to extend abrasive life. Inspect the file periodically for loading; a file card or brass brush can clear debris from the cutting surface.
