 |
|
List . . . there was a post a while back by someone who had obtained a
short (1.5") Vixen file with a handle attached. The name of the
supplying company indicated in the e-mail was Airparts, but they don't
carry this item. Can anyone supply me with info on where one can buy a
fairly short Vixen file with handle attached.to the top side? One
catalog listed Vixen files that were flexible - what is that all about.
I really like this tool, but the 10" file I have is a bit clumsy to
use. I don't have access to a grinder. Thanks for any help you can
render. Robert Schoenberger 701

I put my 10" vixen file in the vise and snapped it off to the length I needed. I then hot glued it to a piece of wood. It has worked great for 700 hours of building.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I got one of Airparts's vixen files back when they were carrying the conversions (shortened to about 2" and with a large washer for a handle epoxied on top), and I like it. Works very well. One other thing to do with it, though, if you're making one, is to hone down the sharp edges of the teeth a little bit, to keep it from trying to bit the sheet metal. A session with some valve grinding compound on a sheet of glass would reduce the biting ability, and polish the (now) sliding surface.
