Simple, what is the name of the file maker and the file? Also are they fine like a smooth bastard file or are they rasp like? A fine mill file is good for metals, but a rough file may or may not be depending on the maker. Some Nicholson files in the rough to fine mill range are for metal, also a vixen file is for hogging metal. It is a field onto itself. Go to Ace Hardware the the workers usually know more than the big stores. I have a vixen file or what some would call a rasp, but it is for metal including mild steel, not wood but it will work on wood.
