Value Collection LEC3010 Swiss Pattern Needle File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LEC3010 is a Swiss-pattern needle file in a barrette configuration, designed for precise material removal and fine finishing work on metal, plastic, and composite surfaces. The barrette profile features cutting surfaces on the flat face only, with a safe edge that prevents undercutting adjacent surfaces during close-tolerance work. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 1.5-inch length of cut and a width of 0.156 inches (5/32 inches), this is a compact, fine-pitch file suited for detailed deburring, fitting, and surface refinement in tight spaces. It ships with a die sinker's handle installed.

This needle file is used by tool and die makers, machinists, mold makers, and maintenance technicians who need precision control in confined areas. The needle-grade precision makes it appropriate for finishing keyways, slots, recesses, and die cavities where a standard-size file cannot reach and where surface finish quality matters. The barrette shape is a common choice when working up to a shoulder or edge without disturbing the adjacent surface.

Key Features

• Barrette profile with safe edge for single-surface cutting
• Needle-grade precision for fine, controlled material removal
• 1.5-inch length of cut on a 5.5-inch overall length
• 5/32-inch (0.156 inches) width for access to narrow slots and recesses
• Die sinker's handle style included for secure grip during detailed work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file replacement suitable for general-purpose precision filing applications in tool and die, machining, and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

No power tools or electrical lockout is required for hand file use. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to maintain control and protect against injury. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use and replace if damaged. Swiss-pattern files cut on the push stroke only; lifting the file on the return stroke extends file life and improves surface finish.
