Thanks for sharing that, Roy. MichaelG. . Edit: Using the correct search term quickly located this little gem: " The Bergeon Assortment of 12 round second hole files come with a round profile and are ued to file second hands. They too come encased in a steel tube. " https://tomorrow4u.wordpress.com/category/technology/ I dare not contemplate the price. Edited By Michael Gilligan on 13/11/2017 16:36:42
