[TheForge] scraper

[Bob Smolen]

Lon,
Pleae tell me a little more. Do you care that the file grooves are left in?
I assume you can grind the end of the file straight across the width and
then grind a little clearance  or bevel so the bottom side is cutting and
curling up the metal. I assume the file is held at say 10 deg. from the
metal being worked? Is this about right?I guess you could make a 2 in in
length piece and weld or braze to a piece of metal which would be the handle
or just leave the file and use it as is ?
Thanks for your help.
Bob
