Also I don't remember having ever used a file

wooden ones &
epoxy them in place. I assume that would work.
No?

Thanks for any info, JD

I use golf balls for file handles. Just drill a
hole that the small
end of the tang will fit into. They stay in
place.

Just watch out for the liquid filled center ones!

SHHHH!!!

Back to my original post, Are there any preferences for Simonds vs.
Nicholson or any other brand? I hope that's not a troll question
like Fords or Chevys.


Nicholson was always my favorite, but it was one of the most common
availible, if a file had a brand name. A lot of them i sw didn't. I
had to find a 4" mill ******* a few months ago and ended up ordering a
Nicholson through Grainger's. My old ones (a pair) disappeared after 30
years of use.
