Description
Grobet USA Crossing Needle Files feature a distinctive double half-round profile β one side with a larger radius than the other β making them the ideal choice for filing interior curved surfaces and working precisely at the junction of two curved surfaces. Both sides are tapered in width and thickness, and the file is cut and usable all the way to the point for maximum reach in tight areas.
These files are manufactured in Italy and are sold individually. Available in two lengths β 5-1/2" (140mm) and 6-1/4" (160mm) β and in Cut 0 (Coarse) or Cut 2 (Medium). Note that not all cuts are available in all lengths. Needle file lengths are measured tip to tip, including the handle section (tang).
