Miniature file

[minimaker]

Hi,

this is a file I bought in a small scale modelling store in Brussels some 19 years ago. It\'s 8cm long and has a diameter starting at 1 going to 0.3mm.

Does anybody know where to buy these kinds of files? Most round files are thicker and tend to be cone shapes instead of straight like this one.

I have a set of X-Acto files that are pretty small:

@ No such agency. Thanks, but the x-acto one is 80mm long, going from 2 to 0.5mm. Somewhat coneshaped like the one in Duende\'s pic. Quite a handy set by the way. It\'s part of my \"sculpting on the road\" kit.

@ Duende, nice set. And thanks for the offer, but I already have something similar.

There might be something there that matches what you\'re looking for.

Heh, I see Duende and I are both missing one of a set. Hope you didn\'t lose the half-round like I did, D. It\'s the best file of them all

@Rab, thanks. The files are on the page. What\'s even beter, there is even a square one in that size.

Bye, Ming-Hua
