What is it you are filing?
jantz supply has them, uncle al has them too.
Filing jigs are parallel bars of hardened steel that clamps to a blade where you file notches, shoulders, plunges, etc into it and keep them even and straight. The file slides over the hardened steel guide and cuts the blade.
Yes, Al does carry them. Lin
PS Riverside Machine Shop is his place of business.
could you use one of those for filing the bevel on the blade? I find it difficult to stay consistent when filing by hand and thought of building a jig of sorts. SKippy
Skippy,
I cant picture using it to file bevels. I will try to take some pictures of mine in use and post soon. Lin
Lin, if he's talking about the file "guide", not "jig", I use Al's carbide faced guide. It's a little pricy, but so well built and utterly IMPERVIOUS to files, it beats any other one I've made or bought.
Gotta give it to him on that one - it's a winner.
After reading Lin's answer again I understand what the guide is for.
kba i was talking about a guide, i am working on fitting a guard and cant keep it file perfectly in line and square. i will check al's
wow pricy was right, but i guess is what you pay for quality tools. well i sure need one to help with my lines so i will have to saveup.
