Good technique in handling a file is vitally important. Having some way to hold the workpiece firmly (e.g., good bench/vise setup) can also make a world of difference in being able to use a file effectively.

yep, hard to find good files these days, when I was a toolmaker the Jorgensons were good, but they have dropped off a lot in quality IMO. dont even bother with the HF or Home Depot ones
