File sharpening
Re: File sharpening
Wow, that is really cool to see the photographs of the various stages. Thanks for taking the time to do that!
Re: File sharpening
Sorry to bore you all, but my CDO kicked in. (The letters are in the order they should be in.)
The pics are large but needed to be.
Here is a 4" pillar file that has been abused and it was doing duty as a chisel.
Here is the same file after 36 hours in the white vinegar.
It now feels a lot sharper and looks better.
Again, thanks to mars-red.

Re: File sharpening
I recently sent a set of very expensive Swiss files to http://www.boggstool.com and they came back like new and half the price of a replacement set. I have some other files that are reaching past due so I think I will try the vinegar method and see how that works. Thanks for the information.
