Checking files

[T-Roy]

Anyone know where I can pick up something like this in the metro area?




I'm in the middle of my first attempt at checking and I don't want to wait on an internet order.

Have my basic pattern coming in pretty well, but I need to clean in up some.

Thanks

Is that shaped like an ice pick, but with a slight curve at the end? If so, look for a medical supply warehouse, and get some of then dental tools.

It's a small triangular file with a steep cut, this one is 60º. I guess you use them to bring up the points after you get the grid cut in with the checking file.

I thought I could possibly get it good enough with just the checking file, but that ain't working out for me.

Have you looked at Harbor Freight?

Them, Northern Tool, and Hobby Lobby are my 3 guesses, was hoping someone will save me some driving though.

I do too. Truthfully you can go to Home Depot and pay four times as much for the same stuff made the same Chinese factory. They're usually my first stop for tools. I already have their set of needle files , and it doesn't have the one I need. They might sell a different set or loose ones though.

Grainger or MSC if you have one near you.
