I have tons of files, sadly NONE of safe edges. I was thinking (or read here somewhere) that "Lathe files" always have one or 2 safe edges. I bought NOS Nicholson 14" LATHE file....got it today, no safe edges. What do I search for to get a 12-14" safe edge file? Bastard ideally, but I have some wiggle room on coarseness. I have searched TONS for files with safe edges, I found ONE and it was over $100! As MOST pictures are straight on from the wide side, I can confirm nothing from the pictures.
I feel like I'm probably not the only one here that has run into this situation, there has to me an easier way? I really am trying to avoid the import stuff, especially pacific rim, so new is less of an option.
Thanks fellas!
