Files.

In a file twelve inches long, th. fint six inches from the poin& does the most Of the work. In a machine-cut file the teeth of this part are shorter, and in practice will not bite as well as they will farther up. This is because of the shape of the files, in many instances making it impossible for the to work on all parts with the same effectiveness. Out of a dozen or more ma-chine-cut files you will not find more than one that is perfect-looking, and t*ery few machine-cnt files will bite ae well as the hand-cut article. For this tsason their teeth break out less easily —because thev won't bite.
