AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF A - DELICATE PROCESS. v J (i Workmen Bkobm So Arcnntc That Thij M Could Oo mi If They Became Blind?Mer chanics Held It to Be an Art In Whleb j Machinery Could Xot Compete. B Rnsps nod flics in tho bunds of a first ' olam mechanic rise to th? dignity of tools of tho first order In a nuichino shop. To ^ ''file square" Is a test of Kkill which hiu [1 caused many a hrnggurt to lowor his crest, " and an A 1 vim hand in a treasure in a shop where finishing is done on the bench. ? To filo square means to file true; to finish y the faco of tho work without marring It 11 with scratches and rounding surfaces, and to do this ae a regular everyday thing, 1* r an art to be won only through practice 1 and long experience. Files ruin thousand* 1 of dollars'worth of work, ami files add > thousands of dollars to the value of luanu '* factured product. f In some of tho machine shops of Chira f go are gray haired mechanics who have 0 worn overalls for 40 years and more. Thej remember well the tlmo when machine r made files were held up to ridkuilo and 0 seorn and when all first flu**, well known 11 makes of files were cut l?y hand. Some of 0 these old fellows still insist that machine B mods flies are not and never can he as * good as the files which are cut by hand. 8 and they carry this prejudice to such an extent that they dcciaro they cannot do * good work with tbo machino cat files. It would be difficult for thorn to tell the * difference between the two makes of files, for within oomjaratively fow years inn6 chines bare been making files that cannot 9 bo approached by tho most expert filo cut'* ters of SbefDeld. Files, and many of (hem, 0 ore still cut by band, and a filo cutter Is 0 probably the most expert user of a bam mar and mid ehlsal in the industrial world. Filos and mops are made of steel whir varies from tho blistered" Htoel for the poorer quality of flics to the best crucible, or "cast cast" steel, for the higher grados. The blacks are prepared for tho flle cutter * by forging the "tang," or tapered point * for tbe handle, and shaping the steol to the proper form under a dlo or press. The * blanks are thoroughly annealod or softent ed, and are perfectly clean and free from scale when laid on the bench of the worki man who cuts the teeth. * A flle cutter generally works on the ' same kind of a "cut" year in and year ' out. This gives him a mechanical perfeo1 tlon wbloh cannot be secured in any other _ way, and it is said that.a workman's band becomes so accustoraoci to toe spacing that wars be to become blind be ooald cot Just as well. Files are made of many forms to salt the great variety of work which they are pn - called upon to do, but tho *'cut.s" which joy - give ouurbonosa and flncuinM to flies are > comparatively few. Tbey aro known as inj I 'Tough," "bastard," ''smooth" and "dead wu ? smooth." Those are tho common "cuts." "Floats" are single cut fllos, and double pa, > oat flies are inade by crossing tho first tU| I out with a sesond cut, thus changing the j. I parallel, unbroken cutting edges of the mji 5 floats into numerous points. i , When a faoe, or ono or more edges on ^|1( flle, Is loft uncut, it is said to bo ''safe." J No matter what the form of the flle is, I whether flat, square, round, half round, fjr rat tail, three square or knife edged, the j I cutting is done the same way. A short, oni I light, steol cold chisel, with a broad, Hj,| - straight outtlng edge, is used. Tbe ham* |_jf p mar Is a curious looking affair, for it Is fHr curved somewhat, sod tbo handle is In. sorted well toward the smaller end. The fflr hummer weighs from one to six pound*. .. In striking the workman gives a peculiar ' , J palling blow which raises tbo''bur" and . - gives the partleulnr out characteristic of i lilos, and It was this out th;it for nearly 800 years provontod inventors from design- , f ing machinery which would cut a file .. i equal to the hand cut article. , 1 t The workman sits on a low bench which , comes out from a long wide bench. Before him is his anvil, usually a stone block or <n r a slab of iron. Tho blank* aro held in ,n,1 ' place by straps which pass over the tang . .. and point, and then form a loop or stirrup ' under the anvlL. The workman puts bis i. foot in the loop, and thus hoVis the blank , - j secure while be is cutting it. He holds tb? >' shlsei between tho finger and thumb of '-J I the loft hand, and nfter each cut moves the l' blank slightly for tho next out. Ho does ria r, this by lifting the ohisel over the bur and rMI 1 * - - - - - ? s I Inr ' tben pressing tno pome 01 mo tooi against --tho raised odgo just out, at the same time M||.( loosening the strap so that the blank can be moved. In catting small flies or smooth or dead '"J smooth flies tbo hammer blows, movement 1 of the chisel, loosening tho straps, moving the blank, tightening the strap and strik- c?i ing tho next blow are done so rapidly that **** they are nearly simultaneous. The float cut is made first, and then the second cut ty is made. Io making the second cut the ' workman strikes the ohlsel wltb loss force, Th thus making a shallower cat. If the flle is ' to be cut on tho other side, the out side Is I laid upon a plate of lead or pewter to pro- pn tect the cutting edges. If the flle is otbor ' than a flat shape, tho lead or pewter Is yoi grooved or hoilowod out to lit tlie sbapo. I b< After cutting, tho flies are hardened, for "Y the annealing makes the steel so soft that yoi the first use of the flle would bend the cut- I ting edges. Some flies are curved before hw being tempered. This is done by beating the cat flies to a dull red and bending I h them to the required carve over a wooden ' block with a wooden mallot The flies to. " be hardened are first oovered with a mix- in < I tore of salt and aome aort of carbonaceous uo I substance. This covering serves a twofold yt> I purpose?It prevents the teeth from oxldaf tion and from losing the carbon In the steel, and by fusing Indicates the proper 1 : beat for tempering. It alio serves to pro- tei ' vent crooking when tho fllo la sudden.y 1 plunged Into the ooollng liquid wbloh fae 1 glvea the flle the temper. ' ' Naturally a heated flle suddenly cooled 1 1 will warp man or lesa according to Its (t< form. Thla Is prevented by giving the flle ! a ''set" In tba other direction before It la yt 1 tempered, so th it the tendency to warp 1 actually stralghtans the flle. When the vi< r stoel has reached the proper heat, the flle CO| Is lifted from the fire by the tang and sud- ] ' denly Immersed In cold water, and before (lo u ?"?? lo tritkflrawn nnrl nnfc Ill uuo grunu tuiu i? *0 , yjj ' In a screw clamp, which koeps It from ,uj . carving or bending.
