great write up Butters. I did one with files, then sandpaper.....and I dont think it saved any more time than using all sandpaper lol. In fact, all paper on a flat surface will have more control than filing.
Before, then filed:  sanded:  My file and sanding surface:

WOW! That is amazing. I have a question, do you sand with the slide on stone or stone on slide?

Trax. I have to agree with everyone else. That is a great post. I like the way you showed it through the process and then the final product so clearly. Thank you for it! Welcome to COTEP and .org!
 Now if I only could get up the nerve to do that to my Kimber, i could remove all the unwanted names!!!

Thanks for the info. I suspect this will give a flatter surface for high polish than any other method. No substitute for elbow grease. In retrospect, I probably would have used this method just because of the simplicity and reduced chance of screwing up with a power tool on my last project. I got lucky, but it didn't save any time or effort compared to the sandpaper method.
