Value Collection LAC2401 Swiss-pattern Needle File 5.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LAC2401 is a Swiss-pattern needle file in a regular pillar configuration, designed for fine precision filing and finishing work on metal, plastic, and other hard materials. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a 3-inch length of cut, this file provides controlled material removal in tight spaces and on detailed workpiece features. The 13/64-inch width makes it well suited for filing slots, keyways, and narrow profiles. A round handle is included for secure grip during use. Machinists, toolmakers, die makers, and precision tradespeople are the primary users of this type of file.

This needle file is intended for fine finishing, deburring, and fitting operations where standard files are too coarse or too large to reach. The Swiss-pattern cut provides a finer tooth geometry than American-pattern files, making it appropriate for intricate work on precision parts, mold work, and close-tolerance hand fitting. It is a practical addition to any tool kit where detail filing is a routine task in a shop, field, or maintenance environment.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern needle file construction for fine, controlled material removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file for use in precision hand filing applications across metalworking, toolmaking, and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

No power-down or system lockout procedure is required for hand file use. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use and replace if damaged to prevent injury. File in one direction with controlled strokes; avoid rocking the file across the workpiece to maintain a flat cutting surface. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against fine chips and debris.
