Miniature die filer

[old_toolmaker]

tonyfoale,

Die filers are machines of the past. I have used die filers years ago and like them.
A die filer certainly has its place and can do work with edges and corners that are sharper and more crisp than anything that comes off a belt grinder. Of course this is just my opinion but I also have some experience to back that up. I also have an old cast iron Delta 16" scroll saw that is capable of doing the same work. Scroll saws of today are not built like the old iron was.
