File Cleaning made Easy!

[@Российскийбот-ы3у]

I have wrecked some files and even a nice carbide grinder bit on aluminum over the years (yes, I know about aluminum/zinc files. but I didn't have any). Thanks for the great tip; wish I'd known it earlier.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Me too!!!! Nobody told us!!! We had to learn the hard way!!!!!! LOL The files are an easy fix but the stones are a little harder!!!! LOL Thanks again!!!!!!!

Feels like i went back in time... nice to see your early videos ... Great tip... Catch you in the future...

[@angelmejias6730]

NIce! I'm sure there's good story about how to get a piece of copper pipe to be file cleaner. Learned something new today. Thanks and enjoy the weekend

THANK YOU...for sharing. Great tip.

Thanks! I have some spare copper pipe but I still haven't purchased a file card, hoping I locate one in the mess I call my shop. Did you make those soft jaws or purchase them?

[@13thworker45]

Dear sir, can a aluminium tube or pipe be used instead of copper tubing ?

[@stevef8993]

Great tip ScoutCrafter! I picked up a bunch of files recently and a few of them are rusty. What's the best way to clean these up? Thanks👍

[@davidleasure9138]

Nice tip. Thanks for sharing. When making the MMO and grease mixture, is the process and the ratios the same? Another question have you ever used a saw mandrel with an electric motor? I found an old one in dads collection

[@johnpossum556]

The ones I have come across are all underpowered. Big motors but low HP.

[@salvadormonella8953]

Really? Copper pipe? I haven't heard that one before. I'm going to give it shot for some of my super-scuzzy files. If my efforts turn out to be an EPIC FAIL, I'll be back, virtually. Thanks for the video.

Is there any reason not to just use the bench grinder?

[@cheezmartian]

Do you want a file or a smooth plate? 😂

[@bobcougar77]

@@cheezmartian HaH! I was thinking wire wheel, but typed bench grinder for some reason.

[@AliakberLokhandwala-ey9hj]

Dear sir, I own a couple of files which have the name " FIRM " and a logo of a light house or something like that and a date 1857. Can you please let me know the manufacturer of these files. Thank you.

[@billwest7274]

I have a couple files that are really plugged in. Wild cards and dental picks can't get most of it, so I'll try this new trick that you should. Thank you!

[@AmericanCoinHunting]

Cool idea THX

[@Elphoenix1]

Great tip 👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Elphoenix1 ! Thanks so much!!! It really works great!!!

[@carpentryfirst3048]

So just to confirm, don't use a bench grinder wire brush to clean a rusty file... :)

[@mgwood558]

Who Knew!!!!? You!
