I ussually hangout in the turners forum but maybe you guys can help me.
I have taken to carving flutes in a spiral on my Hollowforms and bowls. It really quite easily done with a round bastard file. As I practice this process I need to know more about file and rasps to hopefully speed things up.
I need a source for round files to at least 1/2" diameter. Ideas?
Why are files in my local hardware store $5 or less yet when I look on a few websites they can be $80 or more?
How are files rated for aggresiveness of cut?
Your info may help me find the right tools with out wasting too much money.
Thanks
Frank
