Purpose-built precision set
The Simonds 83551000 Needle File Set provides twelve Swiss-pattern needle files for detailed metalwork on brass, bronze, stainless steel, steel and tin. Each file measures 6-1/4 inches without tang and features a built-in round handle for secure grip. The assortment suits jewellers, model makers and toolmakers who need controlled material removal in tight spaces.
Capacity and headroom
The set covers barrette, crossing, equalling, flat, half-round, joint, knife, marking, round, slitting, square and three-square profiles for shaping, smoothing and finishing small components. Swiss-pattern teeth deliver a fine cut that leaves a clean surface ready for polishing. The range handles intricate contours and internal corners but is not sized for heavy stock removal on large workpieces.
Deciding specification
The defining detail is the Swiss-pattern tooth geometry combined with the integrated round handles across all twelve profiles. Buyers who need coarse bastard-cut files for rapid bulk removal or files without handles for custom mounting should look elsewhere. This set is purpose-made for fine, controlled finishing on the listed metals.

Questions about this item
Will the 6-1/4 in Swiss-pattern needle files fit in my existing tool chest compartments?
Each file measures 6-1/4 inches without the tang, so compare that length to your compartment depth before storing the twelve-piece set.
How can I verify the 83551000 set performs correctly on stainless steel after unpacking?
Test a few strokes on scrap stainless; Swiss-pattern teeth should remove material cleanly without loading or skipping.
Does the 83551000 package include a storage case or must I buy one separately?
The supplier description lists only the twelve needle files — barrette, crossing, equalling with handle, flat, half-round, joint, knife, marking, round, slitting, square and three-square — no case is mentioned.
