I picked up this Die Filer at a garage sale about two years ago. ($40, I
didn't even bargain). Came with about 30 files having all sorts of cross
sections.

Question:
What goes into the vertical hole to the left of the table? It is about
1.25 inches in diameter. Looks way too heavy duty to be a simple lamp
holder. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ivan Vegvary
That's for an overarm. I've seen three types. The first is just a roller
guide to back up the file, something like the roller guide for a bandsaw.
The second looks a lot like the overarm for an old jigsaw, with a slide
and a spring to hold the top end. The third *is* an overarm for a jigsaw.
You can see lots of photos of them by Googling around. Here are some
links, plus a video of one in action:

Thanks Ed!!
I suppose I could have done some Googling. Wasn't clever enough to think of
it.
Thanks again,
