What files should I have on hand?

[reeltitanium]

Need to get my files set complete what are the ideal ones to have available? Thanks! I am joining tonight are these items a search would reveal info on?

A search would certainly not hurt, but in any case, Nicholson files in single cut flat and half round are good for general filing purposes, and a set of needle files is always handy too.

Knifekits.com sells mini-needle files.
You won't use them a lot but they are worth gold if needle files get clumsy and big.

Get a chain saw file to make nice rcasso's and a 6"-8" bastard for fne work

i like to have all the larger to mid size basics files of all types-but a bunch of good swiss needle files and some quality small rasps - i found to very valuable.-marekz---these may not be the best but they work well for me as far as rasps go-- http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2000279/922/Needle-Rasps--Set-of-6.aspx . and titan is having a 50% off sale for swiss needle files . http://www.titantoolsupply.com/index.asp?category=19920 --thanks marekz
