How to square file

[Douglas Ostrander]

That's a very good picture. Did you use a phone or camera?

I'm going to get a double bevel file and practice some with it. I've been trying a stihl triangle file but I seem to think the other file will be easier to see and keep the angle. What's a good one to get?

iPhone 5s. I've found if if I zoom almost all the way and move the phone to a distance for it to focus it does really well. Kinda backwards from what I would have thought. And good light.

I'm not sure who done this one but it looked so good I was using it as a reference. lol

That sure looks like it's in the top plate to me, if the corner line was above the point then you would have a side beak

That looks very good but has the slightest hint of a side beak

That's less than .015" low. Plenty good by hand

Camera angles can sometimes make things appear what there not.

Factory ground cutter that's high on both corners. Top beak was so bad it could be seen from top view.

Trying my hand at squaring up a few loops of 72V I have kicking around. Looks like I'm a touch low, right?

Not the same cutter, but this is close to what they all look like.

Not keeping the file steady and straight enough?
