Customer Reviews
Like another reviewer, I noticed that the carbide was bowed. It had flexed due to two set screws pressing (quite hard) upon the carbide bars to hold them in place. So, I removed the set screws and eased the carbide bars out and cleaned up the surfaces of any residual oils. I have then simply glued the carbide into place with a “filled” epoxy (JB Weld). This allows the carbide to relax and return to a good, flat surface. As is, the assembly quite square now. It’s certainly precise enough for a file guide. As they inevitably wear with use, one could simply put a new surface on the carbide with a diamond abrasive plate (don’t breathe carbide dust in). I will eventually be using my surface grinder to get the assembly very flat, but that’s absolutely overkill.So, for the price, I now have a good-sized file guide that will last me for years. I can’t make these for the money I have spent on them because my shop time is precious. I highly recommend this product, as long as one understands that a few minutes of preparation is all that’s needed to net you a high quality product.
