Checkering files to make stamps

[TTcustom]

I just got from the UPS driver my checkering files. Ooh the mind boggles at the possibilities! I can't wait to make my first monster crosshatched beveler.

If anyone is interested I found them cheaper at Midway USA than Brownells.

Hi,,, Thanks for the info,,, But,,, will they stand up to use on 304 Stainless??

P.S. How many lines per inch did you get??

Ed,

Grobert files are supposed to be good swiss made files. The ones I have seen are chrome steel alloy that is tempered and hardened. They are generally very good files. However I have not used them specifically on stainless.

Here's a link that I have for Grobert USA.

How esp-ishly odd! I was just using them on 304 bar stock today and no issues noted. I carded them regularly to make sure they didn't load up.

I got the 50 and the 30 lines per inch... Somewhere out there is an old gunsmiths stash of 60 lpi files that I will find one day.
