Re: File Re-Sharpening ???

Thanks everybody! I have used sulfuric acid to do what you all describe and it does refresh the files but I was hoping someone actually used a file re-furbishing service to return the file to the way it was when new,if that is even possible!

File Re-Sharpening ???

I recently inherited some old tools which included some older dirty files that were U.S. made.I would like to have these files returned to sharpness as I hate to waste good tools.Anyone here use a file sharpening company and if so how were the resultant files?

I was given a bottle of Scrub-Stat 2%(Chlorhexidine gluconate) to use before surgery and was told to throw away what I did not use;other that safety concerns why would they tell me to throw it away?Would there be a good reason to keep the remainder for any future skin injury?Just curious.

I tried the Merit,it works at the range and after you get it set up but a piece or two of black tape on your glasses with a small hole in it works much better in the field.The only real advantage of the Merit was the ability to change the size of the hole under various light conditions.
