Value Collection 382-0501 Swiss-pattern Round File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0501 is a Swiss-pattern round needle file designed for precision material removal in tight tolerances and fine finishing work. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a 2.5-inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled stock removal on metal, plastic, and other workpiece materials. The Cut 0 designation indicates a coarse tooth pattern suited for faster cutting passes while still maintaining the accuracy expected from Swiss-pattern needle files. A handle is included, providing a secure grip during use. Machinists, toolmakers, die makers, and skilled tradespeople use this type of file for deburring, shaping, and fitting components where precision matters.

This round needle file is appropriate for use in tool and die shops, maintenance and repair operations, and general metalworking environments. The round profile allows filing of circular holes, curved slots, and contoured surfaces that flat or half-round files cannot reach. At 5.5 inches overall, it suits bench work and hand-finishing tasks in both professional shop settings and field service applications. It ships as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Swiss-pattern needle files are hand tools installed by machinists, toolmakers, and trade professionals during bench work or field service. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to prevent movement and maintain control. Inspect the file and handle for cracks or damage before each use. Apply consistent, controlled strokes and avoid side pressure that could snap the file body.
