KBC sent me a "We Miss You" email today.....

I have and use a large assortment of files in my shop. A side grinder is useful for a lot of things, but i still use hand files lots.

Size?

Well I do have tiny files 3" and a few small 6" files the majority of my filing is done with the biggest file I can find (12")
If there is room to work the big 12" get work done faster and last longer....and they are much more expensive.

I buy new files when they get dull but cant seem to throw them out when I get the replacements and so end up with a lot of half worn out files.

I even have a couple of old 16"ers

Ya, I've looked at those file type dissertations before. They kind of leave you going Huh?

Maybe I should just stick with a bastard file then I'd never be mixing my file terms up.

Where did that bastard file get to? That file was a real bastard to use.

But seriously..... suggest some types and a size to try.

Hey Craig, I have ordered the following files from KBC for cleaning up projects and been more than satisfied with them. Find them great for getting into tight places. Not your rip snort knuckle buster kind of files although I have some of them to.

Craig I know you were putting the files into an order, but this is the set I got from PA I believe it was 9.99 on sale and I have been happy with it for general work.

5 pc Machinist File Set (princessauto.com)

That crossed my mind as well although I fear it may be a double-edged sword. Might get a bunch of people signing up just for a discount advantage but not giving back to support the forum. More work for the forum administrators, infrastructure, etc yet no increase in contributing members. I don’t know, maybe I’m thinking about it wrong.

No, your thought process is correct...…. would make sense as a paying member privilege though.

Very strange..... I placed a KBC order for 4 items and my CC was charged 3 times. The total is about right but how the charges were distributed amongst the 4 items is a head scratcher. Anyone know what this is about?
 
Hey Craig, has happened to me as well however, items ordered through KBC's are sometimes shipped out of their warehouse in the states and billed by KBC Canada hours later. Meant to add whenever this happens total cost has never gone above original price including tax and shipping. Does that make any sense?

Not really, but I just got an email from FedEx that something will be delivered from Delta BC on the 1st.

And that's the way KBC shipping works for me anyway although my tag a-longs usually come out of Michigan to Winnipeg then Regina/MJ.
