Free of charge yesterday! 6 dozen round files 4 dozen raker files and another 6 or six dozen ascorted files BIG ONES!


Never seen a file cleaner before..

File cleaners are a very useful tool if you are working with softer metals, such as brass or bronze. The softer metal can have tendency to "clog" the flutes of the file. The cleaner will unclog them (note - never use a spinning wire wheel to do this). Man - sounds like a heck of a deal. It reminds me that I got to get a raker gauge for my chisel chains.

Back when I was in school after the ice age I was a shop assistant and we had file cards. Are your file cleaners anything like them?

Looks a lot like a dog brush. (Flip it over and the wires look just like a dogs brush.)

We use the file cleaners on a daily basis. Work with a lot of epoxies and plastics.
