Cutters have two distinct features: a ramp-like depth gauge, or raker, at the front and a gouge-like cutting element at the rear. The gulf between them is the gullet. The cutting element has a profile that looks like the number “7″. Its two surfaces (the top plate and side plate) contain three different angles. The top-plate angle is the easiest to recognize.

Twist that file when your running it through. Keeps you running straight.
Watching this video gave me an AH HA! moment. Thanks.
when i file i usually file down a little so i always have c shape in the file and my saw cut extremly fast

I give you an “A”. You kept me for 15 minutes.
