    Has anyone tried a Carbide faced filing guide?

    Here is a file guide that I have just built out of some 0-1 bar stock. It is 2" between the line-up pins. I intend on hardening it and installing carbide inserts on the face. I am also going to build a larger beefier one for larger bowies and choppers. Bill Dirk

    Bruce!!!

    Your very welcome Bruce, anytime. Church was so exciting, pastor Bob had great words this morning. The mens bonfire was a good time, it gave me a chance to mingle a bit and meet some folks from the church, not to mention the chili and cornbread. Oh the chili, the wife will probably have me on...

    Has anyone tried a Carbide faced filing guide?

    Well i know it will prolong the life of your file guide and provide real nice crisp plunge lines. As well as when using it on slotted guard work with files as files are extremly hard and may damage a file guide without the carbide. So I would say its probably worth it. Bill Dirk
