End Snip
I'm using a book by "Dynamite" Payson (I'll have to post the title and
author's actual name later when I have it in front of me) as a guide.
He mentions this same phenomena and says he cures it by whacking the teeth
with his file handles. He says people question why his file handles (and
he makes handles for both ends of the file) look so chewed up. I'd rather
keep my file handles usable so I've been using a piece of pine to remove
the burr occasionally.
