If you aggree with some of the fellows on this list, an emory cloth should be just the thing as you are going for a nice fat round shape. I personally remain unconvinced that this is the best profile in every situation. In cases where you want a thin and sharp profile, emory cloth might be a be more difficult to use. A file works great to create this shape. As far as whats best... thats another discussion, and there are plenty of folks on both sides of that fence.. grin. Richard Brekne Associate PTG, N.P.T.F.
