Micro ? needle files

[Hayfield1]

Some time ago in a second hand kit I got off eBay were 4 Micro needle files which I have found exceptionally useful for preparing rail ends to fit chairs. I have added 2 standard needle files in the photo to show the differance

2 x 1.5mm square profile
2 x 1.5mm round



The files are just under 14cm long, cutting surface 60 cm long, the handles are 1.85 square and 8.5cm long

Any thoughts please what these files are called and where to buy them please

They sound like Escapement files;

I use these files a lot but there is one which is above all and that is a flat with a fine cut on one flat and a medium the other but on the sides this one has one of the sides which is plain with no cut which is really useful for finishing off corners etc, this file is getting tired i have tried to find an exact replacement, looked everywhere, but with no luck. Any indications would be appreciated. Colin.

My good lady purchased a set of Pferd needle files for a Christmas/Birthday present for me a year or two back.

They are very nice indeed to use

The cheapo eBay files are used on whitemetal and plastic…
