Hi Diane,

    I would be surprised if you found diamond files as small as you
    suggest - probably the smallest you will find are here
    http://tinyurl.com/2wlh9u but you may like to look at watchmakers'
    seconds hole files http://tinyurl.com/2pkxbl (can't find a US link
    for these) which are tiny and are the smallest round files you will
    find anywhere. Second best would be a round escapement file such as
    one of these http://tinyurl.com/34jodg or http://tinyurl.com/35jzld.
    These are all normal steel files but are ideal for working on all
    but the hardest of metals (I use them all the time on annealed tool
    steel but they may struggle on hardened titanium etc.). 

Best wishes,
Ian
