How to square file

[Mastermind]

But the rounded side plate is OK with you?

Yes…..that is why it is so easy to use.

The double bevel files I’ve used dull way too quickly. The goofy lasts longer, and is far more forgiving.

You try Vallorbe brand ? , haven’t found a better brand file than them, they last really well ,

I have not. I gave up square filing when I got a Simington.

I buy them for all my round filing.
Im no square filer yet, but I was working some old chains with the goofy file and it seemed pretty easy to hit the corner for me .
I was looking for feedback from others since I'm unlikely to run into any square filers around me.
Sounds like the goofy isn't as relatable as square for most.

The only thing better than these is some fine bourbon on a relaxing Friday night past quitting time.

They do hold their edge extremely well. I am on season #2 with one side dull and other sharp.

Just amazing.
