It is designed for precision metalwork, deburring, and detailed filing tasks where tight tolerances and fine surface finishes are required. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch length of cut, this file fits cleanly in the hand for controlled strokes. The half-round shape gives the technician two working surfaces: a flat face for flat or convex work and a curved face for concave surfaces, slots, and rounded openings. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, HVAC fabricators, and electricians use needle files like this for fitting, cleaning threads, and dressing metal edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis needle file is suited for light precision work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials encountered in trade and shop environments. The half-round profile is particularly useful in applications where a standard flat file cannot reach a curved internal surface, such as dressing a burr inside a conduit knockout, cleaning a valve seat edge, or fitting a machined component. The handle version included here allows direct hand use without a separate file handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf-round profile provides both flat and curved working surfaces in a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCut 3 tooth grade delivers fine, controlled material removal for precision finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeedle-class file at 5.5 inches OAL is compact and manageable in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch length of cut maximizes usable filing surface relative to overall size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComes with handle included for immediate use without additional accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for precision hand-filing applications across metalworking, HVAC fabrication, plumbing, and electrical trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiles are hand tools requiring no power source or code-governed installation. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before filing to maintain control and reduce injury risk. Use consistent, even strokes with light pressure on the forward pass; lifting the file on the return stroke extends tooth life. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and use a file card or brush to clear debris from the teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFile Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Half Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cut 3 (Fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel of Precision\u003c\/strong\u003e: Needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang \/ Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handle included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 382-0532\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714096038194,"sku":"382-0532","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/18f13878597d0d21b6a6031664a9e5f6.jpg?v=1788496150","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-382-0532-swiss-pattern-needle-file-half-round","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
