Small Diamond Files

TIP: Use our round files for enlarging holes

Description

Our diamond needle files are unique, they have been designed and produced with precision in mind. With two different diamond grades to choose from you are always ensured to have a fine enough file for the job.

Our medium grade (600 grit) is our most popular file and will remove material at a rapid rate whilst leaving a good finish. Our finest grade which has been embraced by most watch schools worldwide, these files will leave a good finish but more importantly allow you to work on small watch parts.

How to use our Small Diamond Needle Files

Our diamond needle files can be used either wet or dry, they will last longer when used wet but it is understood that this isn't always practical when working on a delicate watch or clock part. As with all our products allow the tool to do the work and don't apply too much pressure especially if working on a corner or sharp edge.

What our customers say...

"I have used my set of 4 diamond files in a number of ways. Re-facing clock pallets – the different shaped diamond files allow you to get in where it would be difficult to reach with a grindstone. Fitting clock and watch glasses – ease it by running a diamond file gently round the edge. Drilling holes in barometer glass to fit centre hand – I sometimes ease the hole using a round diamond file. Repivotting in a clock – I use a diamond file to rough up a piece of blued steel prior to fitting in the hole. When turning blued steel you can form a glazed surface which is not easy to cut through with a graver. I cut through it with a diamond file." Clive Driscoll

"Diamond Files are my favourite tools because of the large amount of pivot work I do. I can’t imagine getting along without diamond files. I can’t imagine getting along without my diamond wheel either. Good news is I don’t have to do without either." Robert Uhrich
