Best files ,

Same file as last year. I kept the orientation the same for both left and right teeth.

Thus, I now have one side of the bevel dull, on both sides of the file, while the other is sharp.

Seen a few YouTube videos where it was said when the bevel goes dull, so does the true edge on the tooth.

I am glad, due to the quality constructions that this is not the case with this brand.

Sometimes if you put a hand or finger behind the tooth, your camera will focus where you want it.

On Android just tap the area on Your phone screen that You want to have focused and the camera should try to autofocus that particular area.
Gotta retry often enough, or at least I do on my cheap not-so-smartphone.

I place either a white or black item right behind what I want to be focused.

White cardboard


Or my black phone case.

What do you think of Goofy filing?

What do you think of Goofy filing?

I like the Vallorbe double bevel , and triangle files for square chain , don’t use that file ,

I don't see the point of goofy. Half square file and half round, why go halfway?

(Kind of Micky Mouse ... ha ha).

Maybe he's goofy, then again that might make us square .

Both ground and hand filed will move some fiber! Nice job on both chains.

I've used a goofy file quite a lot. Easy to use, and makes a great edge.

What do you like about it, compared to other file shapes?

Thanks

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

But the rounded side plate is OK with you?
