Sutton needle files and precision file sets provide the fine-tooth cutting action needed for cleaning, deburring, fitting, and finishing in confined spaces and on small workpieces where standard hand files are too large.

Where this product is used

Used for precision fitting, deburring, cleaning, and profile finishing on small components in toolrooms, watch and instrument repair, jewellery, and electronics.

• Deburring small drilled and punched holes, keyways, and machined recesses in precision components where a standard file is too coarse or too large.
• Profile fitting in toolroom and die-shop environments where small recesses, slots, and contours need final adjustment for close tolerance assembly.
• Cleaning and dressing commutators, contact surfaces, and small electrical components in maintenance and instrument repair.

Selecting the right option

Select the file profile to match the work geometry — flat, round, half-round, square, triangular, and knife profiles each suit different slot and surface shapes. Sets of 6 or 12 mixed profiles cover most toolroom and maintenance needs. Use light pressure and short strokes — needle files are brittle and snap if flexed.
