using an old axe file for a lathe tool
I wanted to use some old axe files for parting tools or scrappers on the wood lathe and I needed to make
wood handles and I wanted to sandwich the axe file handle between 2 wood pieces and make a comfortable
handle out of red oak
I wanted the cnc machining accurate to hold these axe files tight, a reverse mould was created by pocketing out the cut
and the handle was a tight fit
Turned out well

This thread is probably not in the right forum and should be moved to turning or hand tools.
Have you tempered the files? If not and they catch on a piece of wood they could shatter!
To temper the files throughly clean then as much as you can and put them in an oven at around 240º for a hour or so and they should turn a goldish colour.
