File buttons

[thehomeengineer]

Hi All
This is a follow up to my post on file buttons. I had to file two radiuses on one component last night and made a button for this application. The other two buttons are the ones I previously made for the key.
The middle button was, machined with a flat so it would fit on the correct centre line of the component and tapped M3. The reason for tapping the button, I did not have a long enough M3 bolt so used tw0 shorter ones bolted from either side. Once finished the two items fitted a treat with no fettling needed. It takes longer to make the buttons and harden them, then to file the radiuses on the work piece but well worth the effort. The tin box is a selection of buttons I have made in the past.





Thank you for taking the time to view.
