The Pferd needle file is 5-1/2" long, and has a rectangular shape with fine diamond grit for smoothing and shaping straight surfaces in fine work. The file has diamond grit on both sides and edges for removal of hard, brittle material such as hardened steels, hard metals, glass, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced plastics. The grit has been electroplated to the file surface for durability. The file can be used with a needle file holder (sold separately).
Hand files are used to remove material and smooth and shape workpieces. They have forward-facing cutting teeth and cut when pushed over either a stationary or rotating workpiece. Single-cut teeth are single rows cut diagonally across the width of the file. Double-cut teeth have two sets of rows cut in opposite directions. American pattern files have three coarseness grades. Coarse, also known as bastard cut, is suitable for efficient, heavy material removal where finish is not a concern. Medium, also known as second cut, offers average material removal and finish quality. Fine, also known as smooth cut, provides the smoothest finish. Swiss pattern files have eight coarseness grades, from 00 (coarse), 0 (medium), and 1 to 6 (fine to finest), offering a smoother finish than equivalent American pattern files. For Swiss pattern files the length of the tool is the length of the blade, not counting the tang, which is the pointed end fitted for a handle; for American pattern files the length of the tool is its entire length, including the tang.
Pferd manufactures abrasives and cutting tools for grinding, finishing, and cutting. The company, founded in 1799 in Germany, has its U.S. headquarters in Leominster, MA. It meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

Absolutely tears through aerospace components, made with ultrahard alloys, ceramics like SiC-SiC CMC. Was in a pinch and tried to use a vallorbe valtitan file (marketed as the hardest steel file), got absolutely smoothed over by these materials. So ordered this (medium coarseness) and it cuts “like a hot knife through butter”. Wish we were more flexible with IP so I could show pictures- it just powderized the surface so quick - so satisfying.Recommend the wood pferd swiss file holder.Note that there are 3 coarseness ratings, especially if you are looking at buying the blue sets. It is maybe not clear on Amazon which one you are buying or that there are different options, as listings look very similar:D181 - CoarsestD126 - Medium coarsenessD91- Fine

The cost of a full set of these is fairly pricey. I opted too instead get the two I use the most being half round and rectangle. The quality upon first opeing was a massive joy.The files even have there profile part etc etched onto the handle...a little hard to see but never the less.I most certainly will be adding the PFERD brand as a first choice when buying tools.
