My free hand filing might suck, but I love how my file cuts when I turn the file (counter clockwise for this side of the chain) during the forward stroke...
Well, I do that too...All I do is smack the file on a piece of wood or wipe in on my pants leg to keep the teeth cleaned out.
That's a fact!The teeth on a round file are helical
Or we can say I am rolling out of the top plate.you're "rolling" the file into the gullet on one side, and "rolling" it into the top plate on the other.
And when the file is helical, wouldn't it then be accurate to say that even without turning the file, the file will cut left and right sides of cutter a little differently?If you turn it one direction (as in your video) you effectively make the file slightly more aggressive, if you turn it the other direction on the other side of the chain you effectively make the file slightly less aggressive.
Too funny... spoken like a true gimmick salesman... I think there's money to made... seriously‼If the file manufacturers could make the same file in two versions, "left and right helical"...
I am kinda semi-serious...Here is an image showing the difference in "file attack" with current file design vs how another mirror designed file would do on the opposite side....Too funny... spoken like a true gimmick salesman... I think there's money to made... seriously‼
I mean, it ain't like it would be total BS... you do have a point.

we have used a tool for more than half a century,
You have a file you have been using that long? Mine never last like that.

And a new monster thus createdThis thread has great potential. With any success it will pale in comparison to an oil thread.
