thank you........good idea.....

My machine shop teacher told me that there no wrong way to do a job. There are better ways, but no such thing as a wrong way.

Well the wrong way is when the doer or somebody nearby gets hurt. That being said there are probably 100's of ways to get a job done safely.

Interestingly this just makes me more interested in doing a homemade die filer that can also take blades. Once you have one I suspect that there would be many uses and it would have to be better than the stuff that is marketed as an upside down jig saw.

That is true but there are a lot of methods which should not be tried by novices.

QUOTE=Frank S;190704]Totally the wrong tool for the job, but I found myself not having anything small enough to cut a keyway with in a 5/8" bore other than to cut them entirely with a file. I clamped the foot of my saber saw in a vice then used it like a die filer to rough cut the small keyways in several sprockets then finished them off with a file it really saved a lot of arm motion.
