Dremel Bits for fileworking hardened blades?

I dont tend to use the carbide burrs unless totally necesary, I dont like the finish they leave, nor do I like all the damn splinters you get from them...

I tend to use the sanding drums in a variety of sizes along with the non-reinforced cuttoff wheels and a cratex wheel ever once in a while to smooth things out..

I do all my filework after heat treatment with a dremel with a flex shaft, I find I like the way the dremel works the hardened steel versus the soft gummy stuff...

I do use the carbide burrs for stock removal inside of finger grooves and such so that I dont have to remove so much with a small contact wheel or dremel sanding drum...

I got my carbide bits at Enco Supply phone number 1-800-use-enco. They have the single and double cut burrs and tend to be a very usable quality for the price...

If you have any other questions just drop me an email and I will see if I can help.

you should try diamond burrs, they aren't very expensive. i don't have experience with them though, i don't do file work, i'm just trying it now actually.
 
I have not done filework, but I have done alot of serrations..the sanding drums are the way to go. They do not bounce and chatter, and you do not have to resurface them each time you use them, and with the drums you can keep consistant sizes. They last a surprisingly long time as well.
