Value Collection LEC3017 Swiss-pattern Needle File 5.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION LEC3017 is a Swiss-pattern needle file designed for precision material removal in tight tolerances and detailed work. This regular pillar file features a die sinker's handle style and a needle-level precision cut, making it suited for fine filing operations on metal, tooling, and intricate workpiece surfaces. The overall length is 5.5 inches with a 1.5-inch length of cut and a face width of 9/64 inches. It is a handled file, meaning no separate handle purchase is required. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and precision fabricators reach for files in this class when deburring, fitting, or finishing work demands accuracy over stock removal.

This file is intended for bench work, die sinking, and precision fitting applications in machine shops, tool rooms, and fabrication environments. Its compact cutting length and narrow pillar profile make it well suited for filing internal slots, keyways, shoulders, and other confined geometries where a full-size file cannot reach cleanly. The needle classification indicates a fine-pitch cut appropriate for finishing passes rather than aggressive material removal.

Key Features

• Swiss-pattern needle precision cut for fine finishing and close-tolerance work
• Regular pillar file profile suited for slots, keyways, and narrow flat surfaces
• Die sinker's handle style provides controlled grip during precision bench work
• Pre-installed handle included — ready to use without additional accessories
• 5.5-inch overall length with 1.5-inch length of cut for compact reach
• 9/64-inch face width allows access to tight or confined workpiece areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file for general precision bench filing applications in tool-and-die, machining, and metal fabrication settings.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool requiring no power source or mechanical installation. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before filing to prevent movement and maintain accuracy. Inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use and replace if damaged. Apply consistent, controlled strokes in one direction for best results and to extend file life.
