Swiss Pattern” files means a type of fine file used for precision filing of jewelry, instrument parts,dies,miniature work and small areas.
Swiss-pattern files teeth are cut at a shallower angle, and are graded by number {00 - 6}, higher the number finer the cut. The teeth extend all the way to files edge. They are made to a more exacting tolerance for more intricate/finer work. They are offered in various lengths. Have recorded as much detail as possible if Your specific application requiresThickness/Width +/- .010"
5-1/2" Swiss pattern needle file Knife 0 cut
Knife shaped, cross section that is tapered in width and thickness. Edge has same thickness from point to shoulder. Used in slots, wedge or v shaped openings such as gear teeth. The included angle of the sharp edge is Approximately 10 degrees. Double cut on both sides – Top edge is safe – Knife edge is single cut.
5-1/2" Swiss pattern needle file Crossing 0 cut
Crossing = Oval cross section with same radius as half-round files on one side and other side curved to a larger radius. Cuts on both sides. Tapered in width and thickness. Used primarily for filing interior curved surfaces. The double radius makes possible the filing at the junction of two curved surfaces or a straight and a curved surface.Double cut on both sides.
6" Swiss pattern needle file Crossing 2 cut
Crossing = Oval cross section with same radius as half-round files on one side and other side curved to a larger radius. Cuts on both sides. Tapered in width and thickness. Used primarily for filing interior curved surfaces. The double radius makes possible the filing at the junction of two curved surfaces or a straight and a curved surface.Double cut on both sides.
