Miniature die filer

[wizard69]

The good news is that there are at least two companies selling die filer casting kits that I know of, one being Martin Model and pattern, the other being Metal Lathe. Each has a unique take on the machine but I wouldn't consider any of them to be manly. At least not in the sense of the old iron that can be found out there from a time when die filers where an important part of a machine shop.

I suspect that a machine built from stock would be just as good as one built from castings.
