I saw that one, or one like it, some time back. Pretty interesting results. It seemed to have no effect and IIRC slightly extended the life of the file.

Yeah. It's fine. I know the old machinists will have a heart attack if they see you do it. But as far as I can tell it makes no real difference.
Also I've seen that video. Very interesting.
