I recently got 2 dozen of the vallorbe double bevels, I will check to see if I can get more for the same price, I will post here. They are the new style with skinny tang and round end, they are very nice files. If my distributor can get me more for the same price, they would be $11 a piece plus shipping. They come by the dozen and I could separate them if needed to. None of the ones I currently have will be for sale though!

Round end like made for the granberg jig?

If so, I’ll take a dozen or whatever they got.

They have an end like a round file, they are also 8 inches long, not sure if that will be too long for a jig or not.

Got the ball rolling, waiting for a quote on a hundred files. Lets hope they aren't using the same distributor Jeff talked to.

Depending on price point, i would be in for a dozen

Got it. TY.
I stole this from Jason's post.
2 different Vallorbe double chisel bit files.

Anybody else notice the different angles here?
I’d be curious if one file was better for converting round to square or if one file left a smoother finish compared to the other.
I know I’d like to find a few more of the vallorbe straight cut double bevels just for touching up race chains.

The ones I got are like the ones on the left. I am quite pleased with them.

Looks like it could be an optical illusion Mike.

I’d say it’s the same angle or real close. As long as it gives me .050” side plate any more is just a waste as it won’t be cutting that deep anyway.

I’m wondering if the new style with the round end is more noodley, being that it’s noticeably narrower than the other.
I prefer a file with less flex, easier to control and can put more pressure on it.

Could use a dozen files. Ran my chain in this junk today. Very smooth but my files shot so no touch up. Keeping an eye on this vallorbe thing.

When I converting round to square I use a old file to get the right profile. The I take a new file and finnish the tooth with a couple of gentel strokes.

Doesn’t that take a lot more time?

I wonder whether the new design gives you better control, precision or comfort. It looks like it will. These new Vallorbes have spiked my interest for sure. Its a new design that no maker done before. I find my single bevel Vallorbe's (flat cuts) will flex a bit when I apply pressure, these new ones look nice & solid.
