[modeleng] Re: Filing

Al,

I use a very thin oil to lubricate the file and find I can produce a finish 
similar to the appearence of surface grinding.

Gentlemen!  Is there a fool-proof way to keep a file
from pining when filing mild Steel?  It is the
absolute pits to be almost finished a filing job and
have the file to pick up a pin and gouge a scratch
that has to be worked out of the finished surface.
