OK, have it your way. But a mill file is a shallow bite, and fills up
quickly. How about a look with a magnifier next time you're working to see
how quickly they clean.

As you don't know files are like a bunch of chisels lined up. And if
they take wood away they aren't burnishing and they aren't like the
side of a board. I used files to take knots off natural wood canes and
they leave the best. I've done and seen it work have you?
