    Thank you John,

    The filing went well enough that I will make up a vee-ed holder to accommodate triangular and round files. At the shop where I found the new old stock Nicholson there was a triangular Eclipse saw sharpening file. Tangless and probably 6 inches long, it might be a worthwhile acquisition. I guess the best thing would be to chance upon some actual die filer files. Probably thin on the ground though.

    BT

    Edit - An eBay Au search encountered a bunch of new die filer files in the US but at a bit over forty dollars a file including shipping and GST, I'll bite my lip and take to locally sourced files with the Dremel.
