I as going to say I wouldn't think one would want a fast moving machine for filing. I would prefer a slow and steady stroke/cycle so I could control the layout line. I've reshapened die sections that were split in the corners because die filers were not used. They look like nice machines. EDMs apparently replaced them in the die building shops.

Chuck,
I got the whole kit. I may have the plans but I haven't seen them for a couple of years.
One of the first things I noticed about the MLA was that it ran too fast, so I bought a HF router speed controller. That pretty much solved the problem, but a pulley change could be added to get a little more torque out of the motor too.
