Default Finishing question

I was doing some sanding and a couple of imperfection on a flat piece
of wood needed more than sanding paper. I grabbed an old metal file
(fine, but kinda dull) and went at it. A few strokes later the blemish
was gone but waddaya know, the wood looked & felt mirror smooth and
shone like crazy, way way way nicer than I would have been able to get
with 600 grit. What happened here and could I use that same file to
get that kinda finish when "sanding" wood on the lathe? (The lathe is
tied up right now as I'm using it as big sanding disk).
Bart.
