are there any good files?

[mountainman]

after doing detailing work and cutting out a patchbox, I'm like wondering are there really any good files that are small enough (like needle nose files) that removes material faster than what I am using? by the way I'm using Swiss needle files 18cm grobet. if that makes any sense. any suggestions?

Guide to Selecting Precision Files

As shown in the File Finder chart, each configuration calls for a different type of file. There is more to file selection than shape alone. The cut selected is equally important. Determination of cut depends on the type and form of material to be worked, amount of material to be removed and the finish desired. For example, rapid removal of stock often indicates a No. 00 cut, while working on narrow surfaces would suggest a No. 2 cut and final finishing operations might take a fine cut such as No. 4. In the final analysis, file selection cannot be reduced to a formula or table but will be based to a great degree on experience and common sense.
