Hi Bruce,

The kit that I made my filer from is available here:

It's more of a "Cadillac" version than most people really need.

Martin Model sells two "open" versions, though the basic price is roughly the same:

The Metal Lathe Accessories version has several added-cost upgrades which push the price up considerably.

Here's a short video of a guy using the Metal Lathe Accessories version to file a square hole in a gear:




Also, here is an animation of a half-section of the MLA die filer I made in Solid Edge
