    Over time the carbide will wear your files much faster, but that's part of the game if you want square shoulders. These can also be used in combination with a flat platen on a belt grinder which is my preferred method.

    I do this with a Brian Bump file guide now... decided to upgrade form the DIY - https://brucebump.com/fileguides
