Barrette Needle File Cut #0 Nicholson, lot 010

Description

Nicholson Barrette needle file #0 cut.  Barrete files are tapered in both width and thickness with only one cutting edge and safe sides that angle sharply back. The triangular profile allows this file to get into tight spaces to file one surface without effecting adjacent surfaces..  New, from master carton so no packaging.

Swiss style needle files and riffler files use a system of 00, 0, 2, 4, & 6 for the coarsness of the teeth with 00 bing the coarsest and 6 the finest.

Any file will work with steel, aluminum, wood, etc., though the finer toothed ones will tend to load up the teeth more especially with softer materials like wood or alluminum.

Start with a coarse file and if you like the surface finish you are done. If not, go to the next finer one, etc. Just like using sandpaper.
