Hey all,
I dont know much about much so excuse me: Just bought some metal files, not the super good ones fyi, and have been clogging up on stainless steel work.
Looked up how to care for files and 50% said use a file card, 50% said dont. Some said use acid, some said dont. I say I understand, and then I say I dont.
The stainless is just gumming up my file in 2 hours ( 10 parts time). Kinda heavy filing. Used to be for groove walls and threads, fixed that, just for thread now. Im getting a gnarly burr on the first imperfect thread on stainless. Tried angular infeed (G76 @ P000060) but bad stuff happened and same burr. Tried spring pass(es) but no help.
Is this burr on first thread always there?? Aside from blunt/hygbee, what can be done??
Thanks all,
SML
