Tang Filing Jig

tnmike · Mar 14, 2006

Can someone point me to a source for a hardened tool steel tang filing clamp? If I can buy one Im not going to the trouble of making another.( I lost the one I made and cant find it to save my life) THANKS

Try Sheffield for a cheaper one, Mike, and Uncle Al's for the high priced spread.

Sheffield's is hardened and so-so ok. File will stil cut it a bit. Haven't rockwelled it.

Uncle Al's was too costly for me, though they come well recommended.

Thanks Mike....I looked through all my catalogs and didnt see it in Sheffields,,

Sorry, Mike, I should have got you a link. Here's the catalog. You can't link to a page. Check page 95. It's right hand side, 1/2 way down. P/N JIG-O1 $20.

Here's Uncle Al's:

The one from Sheffields' is the one that I use and it works very well.

Sorta makes doing up ones own a lot more attractive, doesn't it? Dang......

I might just put mine in a display case since they're so proud of 'em!

I started making one today. I'm not paying what they want for them in the knife supply houses.

tnmike · Mar 21, 2006

I started on another one too. I wont pay that much for two pieces of steel with two capscrews in them
