To all the old machinist out there, how does one learn to file dead flat?
Back when i was in watchmaking school, learning to file was the first course of study. I never got over making a small hump in the middle of what ever plain I was working on despite countless hours of practice. I can get reasonably close, the deviance in my 'hump' being about 0.005 mm, but I know from my instructor and other students that a dead flat surface is achievable.
