information on files (*******, cross-cut, singel-cut, etc.)
Hi, I am trying to find information on different types of wood and metal files. When I google I mostly get pages which are selling files. Does anyone know a page on the web which explains different types of files and their purposes so I can educate myself?

There isn't an ISBN number in the book that I can find... http://www.eaiainfo.org/ John |

Fine woodworking magazine had an excellent overview on all types of files.
This was maybe 10 years ago. Greg |
