    You got me curious, Skippy. I've seen you post on multiple forums for files, fixtures, grinders, pics of grinders, or grinders you could borrow converted to square so you could clone. Now 30 year old files. What's wrong with $7 files or $600 grinders that everyone else uses?

    The only time I break those files out is for finishing up a chain that's had a good bit of time. They do leave a smoother finish by a little.

    Still not worth the hassle or the money.

    Ask Matt what he uses? Maybe it's something fancy. But I doubt it.

    I wouldn't go that far. If you can find them they're worth it. I think I he 4 or 5 of them.
