Hello, I am looking for a hand file to file silver (silver flute, to be precise). Could you tell me which file you are using in this video? Is it Glardon Vallorbe® Valtitan™ Half-Round? #2 or #0?
I just went through several of your uploads. Cool stuff, by the way. I've been trying to figure out how a jeweler would approach a challenge. When I'm building an electronics project box I'm often cutting out a window in sheet metal for a LCD. This is a difficult cut to make and finish square. I even have several years of autobody and paint experience. I understand how to finish a surface well. I simply have a difficult time getting a long metal edge perfect, by hand, and in reference to a couple of 90 degree angles on an inside metal surface. The only option I haven't tried yet is to start making my own custom sanding blocks sized for the specific project. I'm really curious how a jeweler would approach this type of challenge. -Jake
Hello! Our in-house jewelry techs suggest using a flexshaft with silicon carbide separating disk (bit.ly/2ID0kUQ ) mounted to a mandrel like this one: bit.ly/2IG90Kh. This combination is like cutting butter! Be sure to wear eye protection.

This is really helpful, thanks!
Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing :) May I ask what cut that half round file is?
Thanks, good instruction and inspiration.
Mark is a really great instructor. We will pass on the compliment.

How do I cut a stainless steel watch bracelet. I want to take a link off that is fixed with no screw or push pin
