The reason I think ,it's a good idea to have the teeth cut out else were ,is to save those seeming harder to get good files .
For just sharping the teeth not hogging out the teeth .
Now I know ,it only takes say 6/7 strokes for a small tooth .
But the point I was trying to make ,was to preserve the precious file as much as possible .
