Files set Bahco Needle file sets of 6 files

The Bahco Needle file set of 6 files provides a compact selection of precision files designed for fine detailing and finishing work. The set includes flat, half-round, round and square needle files, each 160 mm long and weighing a total of about 70 g for easy handling. Files feature a smooth cut suitable for delicate material removal on metal, wood and modelling materials, allowing controlled shaping and refinement in confined or intricate areas.

Advantages

The set's lightweight construction and slim profiles permit access to tight spots and controlled filing with minimal user fatigue. Smooth-cut teeth deliver fine, consistent results and reduce the risk of over-cutting. A variety of cross-sections in one set ensures versatility for different contours and surface types. The uniform length supports balanced handling and precise guidance during use.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 6 needle files
• Shapes included: flat, half-round, round, square (various profiles)
• Length: 160 mm
• Total weight (approx.): 70 g
• Cut type: smooth cut for fine finishing

How to use

Select the file profile that matches the contour you need to refine. Hold the file by its tang or handle, applying light to moderate forward strokes while keeping consistent angle and pressure; the smooth-cut teeth are intended for controlled, fine material removal. Use the flat and square files for planar surfaces and slot edges, the half-round for concave shapes and transitional surfaces, and the round file for internal curves and holes. Regularly clear filings from the teeth with a file card or brush to maintain cutting performance.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses during use. For best results on harder metals, work gradually and check progress frequently to avoid over-filing. Store the files in a dry place and keep them separated from other tools to preserve the cutting edges.
