benny6Buy once, cry once jeweler's file set reccomendations
I need a set of Jeweler's files. These will see weekly use on soft steel.
Any recommendations? This is for my business, so I don't mind paying more for a good set.
Thanks,
Tony.

David LeeGrobet. Swiss made. They are pricey which is why I used to shop Ebay.

David LeeYou might also look at German made Pferd as they are same quality and prices. I love cutting metal with files. Dig the Pferd Corinox line.

vinnybassGrobet. I've had a bunch of their needle files and rifflers for over forty years. I expect them to last the rest of my days in great condition. I'm very particular about such things and would rather file than almost anything else in the world.

David LeeI would buy the Grobet files. The price and quality assure they never get misused or misplaced.

David LeeI think these are Made in Italy and distributed by ARTCo, American Rotary Tool. The old Swiss Made sets show up occasionally for sale on Ebay. Also, the original Swiss Made will have Switzerland text on each file. You should be good with this set you bought.
