Hi Chuck;
I just use a fine file on almost everything that needs the edges 'broken' but not 'flattened'. Take care not to rock your file
over the corners or everything will end up round. A fairly fine file, like a small (4" or 6") single cut smooth mill file and a
light touch will get it. Use a good file! Avoid the cheap ones that look like the teeth were cut by a drunk man with a chisel.
Go at it easy, make your cuts very light, and don't rock it! Use the long dimension of the file on longer corners, and if
the work is small enough, hold the file steady and move the work piece across the file. Use the short dimension of the file
for smaller edges, and don't file it back and forth, as if you are sawing something, but side to side, and be gentle.
If you need to do fine work on small parts, wrap a piece of 1200 grit wet-or-dry paper around your file. It will keep the
paper flat, just like the file. Again, go easy.
Either of these ways will work for straight edges and many curved edges. If you have a fairly small inside radius to do, get
the finest chainsaw file you can find, and again, go easy.
I guess my main theme is, go easy.
