David, I clean my fine files with brass as well. I use square stock
(or round rod squared on the end) then put a sharp angle on the end,
pushing this sharp edge into the file. As long as you go with the
same angle as the grooves, it will clean all debris. When the brass
point becomes too dull, just file a new angle. For more QuickTips,
