Guys, some of the needle files I have had for thirty years are at the end of their life span. Does anyone have a source for needle files that sells them at a reasonable price and NOT IN SETS?

Brownell's has the best I've used. They are Swiss made, and a tad expensive, but last a long time with care.
 
I buy mine at Sears. They come in a set and cost about $15 but whenever one breaks you can return them and get a brand new set.
 
Mold Shop Tools has an extensive selection of abrasives at very reasonable prices. And they ship at darn near light speed :thumbup:

You'll find what you're looking for to the far right of the home page, under "PRODUCT CATALOG". Note that there is a slider that will expose many more products than is first shown ;)




:cool:

Man I know what you mean ! ;)

FWIW, everything I've purchased from them has been very high quality tooling. Virtually all of my abrasives, with the exception of 2 x 72 Belts, is purchased from them now :thumbup:

we use the swiss files at work and i love them. thy are a bit pricy at like 10-15 bucks each but way better then the cheep ones.
 
Try Gesswein. they make or sell anything you might need for polishing etc. get the moldmakers catalog, they also have a jewelers version. look them up on the net.

Guys

Thanks for the suggestions. I stumbled across these guys and they happen to be clearing out their files. The files are made by Vallorbe. They have several sizes and most of the shapes. They go for $3.15 each. I received my order in four days and they are just what I expected.
