    This is kinda part two of my filing vise experience. The filing vise
    is a great tool but I found my cheap files didn't work with it to
    score a perfect cut to fold flat metal 90 degrees. So I blew some
    money on a small set of Fredrich Dick files which are infinitely
    better than the no name stuff our local lapidary guy sells. Question:
    are the FD files the best there is and how do they compare to Grobet
    Swiss files, is the extra money worth it for the FD files? Does anyone
    know where to get these joint files Alan demonstrates in making a
    hinge on his silver box video? I don't see these cylinder or joint
    files in any of the major catalogs. Thanks in advance 
Dave
