Ive been looking in Micromark for files to work on mouthpices.  In 
needle files I found sets of Swiss Pattern needle sets, Coarse Files, 
also Carbide and diamond files in 80 and 120.  So which ones do I 
want?  Im primarily going to be working on hard rubber.  Thanks.

The 7" long coarse files (Micromark 60526) are good for HR.  I also like
the mid sized set (81063).  They have a little finer cut.  Its shown with
blue rubber handles but they always come with red handles.  I'm on my 3rd
set of them.

Both are decent on brass but dull quickly on harder metals.   I'm starting
to use harder Valtitan needle files on the harder materials.  These files
are pricy and a little on the thin side for general work.

Thanks Keith, I will get both as they are pretty cheap.  The numbers 
were very helpful too!
