Welcome to the Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines - Enjoy!
What a cool score for your shop there Bruce!I don't really know, but it looks like your file is cutting on the upstroke, and I thought it was preferable to have the file cut on the down stroke against the table's resistance?
Interesting tool, I've never seen one before.

Falcon tools is one of the last vendors still selling off NOS machine parallel files (as far as I know) and they aren't making anymore.
Okay, good to know, but all my files cut on the push stroke. Don't know that I've ever seen one that didn't.
