Value Collection 2162C Round Needle Diamond File Coarse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2162C is a round needle diamond file designed for precision filing and deburring of hard materials including hardened steel, carbide, ceramics, and glass. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a length of cut of 2.75 inches, this compact file delivers aggressive material removal in tight spaces where standard files cannot reach. The coarse grade diamond abrasive makes it well suited for initial shaping and stock removal tasks. At 0.109 inches in diameter and 0.125 inches thick, the slim needle profile fits into small slots, grooves, and contoured surfaces. Tradespeople and toolmakers reach for needle diamond files when working with materials that quickly dull conventional steel files.

This file sees regular use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work for cleaning burrs from drilled holes, dressing carbide tool edges, fitting close-tolerance metal parts, and smoothing weld spatter in confined areas. It is equally useful on the bench and in the field. The 5.5-inch overall length gives adequate hand clearance while still fitting into restricted access points on equipment enclosures, valve bodies, pipe fittings, and electrical panel knockouts.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose round needle diamond file suitable for hand filing applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades where precision material removal on hard surfaces is required.

Installation Notes

Diamond needle files are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when filing metal components. File in one direction using steady, controlled strokes to maximize abrasive life and prevent rocking that can damage fine workpiece surfaces. Keep the file clean and free of metal debris by brushing with a stiff file card after use to maintain cutting efficiency.
