Value Collection LAC2411 Swiss-pattern Needle Barrette File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LAC2411 is a Swiss-pattern needle file in a barrette profile, designed for precision filing and deburring in tight, detailed work. It features a 3-inch length of cut and measures 5.5 inches overall, making it well-suited for intricate material removal where control matters. At 13/64 inches wide, the barrette shape provides a flat working face with a safe, uncut back edge, allowing work close to shoulders and steps without marring adjacent surfaces. A round handle is included for secure grip during fine finishing tasks. This file is used by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and skilled tradespeople who require consistent, repeatable hand-file performance.

Swiss-pattern needle files at the needle precision level are commonly used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms for finishing, fitting, and sharpening operations. The barrette profile is particularly useful when filing into corners or slots where only one face of the file should contact the workpiece. The included handle improves control during extended use and is appropriate for both bench work and field maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Hand files of this type are used by machinists and skilled tradespeople and require no power tools or fasteners. Inspect the handle and tang connection before use to ensure a secure fit. Always file with controlled strokes and wear appropriate eye protection to guard against metal filings. Store the file separate from other tools to protect the cut surface from damage.
