    Being a small town jeweler I don't get to work on platinum as much
    as I would like to, but I do have some experience with it. I would
    always make sure to use separate files and buffs with platinum. The
    problems with using the same buffs and files come when you start to
    weld on platinum. I'm by no means a metallurgist, but am pretty sure
    small shavings of gold or silver from your file or buff will embed
    in the platinum and then contaminate and ruin the area where you are
    welding at. I'm sure there might be other reasons, but this is all I
    know. So yes, definately have files, buffs, and other abrasives set
    aside for platinum only.
