[CAUT] capo work

[Alan Crane]

There was a time when Bill Spurlock was carrying a smaller file 
pretty much identical to this one in the Stewart-MacDonald catalog.

Bill's radius might have been different than these, I don't know for sure.
I just know he stopped offering them years ago citing unavailability 
from the manufacturer or something like that.
Given the price difference (and *assuming* grit and such is similar), 
these might be an attractive alternative, especially since the files 
themselves are interchangeable and inexpensive replacements are 
readily available.

Grizzly also carries what looks like an identical item (cheaper by 
about $9 USD) but does not appear to offer replacement files for it.
However, if it really is identical, the Stew-Mac files might fit...
