Band Filing
Band Filing takes place on a machine similar to a belt sander, used like a band saw. Band files are sectioned so that they can be made from stiff material, as they need to be to effectively remove material, yet still work in a constant feed. A band filing operation can be used to remove small amounts of material with good accuracy. The cutting teeth of the file are arranged closely on the file and are used as part of a finishing process.

On the wild New England shore.”
