I picked up some Windsor 7/32 files the other day. Tried one but found it was too aggressive, it chattered horribly and didn't leave a nice finish on the cutter. We'll find out how it cuts tomorrow.
Now if I filed from the inside - out it was smoother but left a horrible burr on the cutting edge. The Oregon and Stihl files I had been using were much smoother and I was able to obtain a nice polished and sharp finish (filing outside - in). Does Windsor make a less aggressive file and if so, how do you know what file you're getting (I couldn't find any info on different grit). I see that Pferd offers two types of file, standard (aggressive) and smooth (finer grit). Does any other manufacturer offer the same?
