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?

An overarm to hold down the workpiece -- especially useful if
you can't get the real die filer files which cut on the downstroke.

Maybe even for converting it to being a saber saw.

And the hole in the table to the right of the file is probably
for a support arm for the file, which moves up and down with the file,
but supports the top end against the cutting forces.

Enjoy,
DoN.
