Needle Files - EdK - 02-05-2022
I needed some good needle files the other day for a project I was working on so I dug through my box of files and found these. I must have had them for quite some time considering they were made in Switzerland.
They're virgin files, never been used before.

Funny I just ordered a set of Nicholson needles myself the other day. Should get them on Monday. I'll have to compare what I get vs. what you have there. I'm guessing Mexico at this point. I ordered them from Amazon and as usual there is conflicting information in their listing. I ordered #0 cut files but the details are showing as #2 cut. So who knows what I'll actually be getting.

Pleasantly surprised. 2020 production date.

... Says the guy with a new machining center. Hardly compares with a set of needle files don't you think?

I'll take the opportunity whenever it is available.

Found another pouch of files today while looking for a small, flat file to deburr a bronze bearing I had turned the OD on to fit my milling vise. These have been around for quite a while. Made in Japan.
