    I went to gesswein.com yesterday - they have the standard files. They
    have a die-sinker's tool like a modern filing machine, but it takes
    standard files. Somebody asked me personally about this, today, and
    it made me wonder. I have MSC's Big Book - 4" of machine tools, also
    McMaster-Carr and a couple of others - machinery, not jewelry. No
    non-tapered square files. American Pattern files have less taper, but
    still some. Plus those are American pattern... But David's right and
    it made me remember - old filing machines used straight files of
    various shapes. That's one of those things that if you tried to
    track them down you'll get grungy old files for your year of looking,
    though. Filing machines are pretty well gone from the mainstream, as
    far as I know, and metal planers aren't far behind them.
