Does anyone have a particular brand or type of file they use when working on stainless steel?
I re-discovered yesterday how hard 416 stainless(hrc 40-42) is. I work with stainless hardware and components for my job, but I don't have to "fit" any of it. I had forgotten how how hard of a metal it is. I ruined a safe edge file on a stainless barrel bushing lug yesterday as it needed approx. 0.005" removed for fitment.
