Workshop Practice: Keeping Files Clean
During a filing exercise on a block held in a Bench Vice, students stop every few strokes and look at the file. Where metal has packed into the teeth, they brush it out before carrying on. Students then compare a face finished with a clean file and one finished with a clogged file. The packed chips, called pins, drag deep scratches across the work.
Soft metals such as aluminium, brass and copper clog fastest, so teachers use them to demonstrate pinning. The brush works the same way on the coarse and smooth files of the Engineers Flat Files set, and on a Half Round File used for curved work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which way should the brush be moved over the file?
Brush along the rows of teeth, in the direction they run, not across them. Following the teeth pushes the packed chips out of the grooves instead of pressing them deeper.
How often should a file be cleaned?
Brush it whenever the cut slows down or the surface starts to show scratches. On soft metals this can be after every few strokes. Clean every file at the end of the class before it goes back in the rack.
What if a chip stays stuck after brushing?
Push it out with a thin strip of brass or soft steel drawn along the groove. Rubbing chalk on the file before filing soft metal makes chips less likely to stick in the first place.
Does the brush suit every grade of file?
Yes, it is used on metalworking files of any cut, from bastard to smooth. Smooth files have fine, shallow teeth that clog quickly, so they need brushing most often.
