Executive summary

The practitioner distinguishes file size, cut and profile for the area, removes saw and hammer irregularities, and progresses from coarse to fine files. He uses sheen and a straightedge on flat faces, contact patterns and a smooth line on curves, then demonstrates bracing the work and cutting on the push stroke.

3 Learning routes

The practitioner changes how the file is presented for L-shaped corners, radiused curves and long straight edges, checking surface feel, missed areas, burrs, filed width and snagging.

  • Finish an L-shaped corner
  • Finish a radiused curve
  • True a long straight edge

The on-screen text covers direction, light, start and speed controls; an order for valve-stem and housing-bore work; holder selection; forward/back grinding movement; a tapered rod; and diameter, flexibility, stroke and flow checks. There is no expert narration, so terminology and intent require practitioner confirmation.

Video 8 · Titans ID wheel

Titans of CNC

3 Learning routes

The practitioner shows three components: main shaft, threaded mounting arbor and grinding wheel. He scuffs the arbor face with a file, cleans with alcohol, mixes resin and hardener, coats the arbor, drops on and spins the wheel, then adds epoxy in the centre. He links cleanliness and a good bond to the stated 20,000–30,000 rpm operating range.

  • Identify the three components
  • Prepare the bonding face and epoxy
  • Mount and bond the wheel

01Demonstration module

Choose a file for the area

Distinguish size, cut and profile

Files differ in size, coarse/medium/fine cut, and profiles such as flat, half-round, triangular and square. The practitioner matches the shape to the area and identifies precision files for fine locations.

02Demonstration module

Finish a sawn edge flat

Remove irregularities, refine file marks, check flatness

Remove the irregular saw-cut edge until the full face shows sheen. Then use a finer file to remove coarse marks and place a straightedge against the face to distinguish flatness from waviness.

This creates the flat base surface described by the practitioner.

Check the face with a straightedge

Place a straightedge against the narrow face and compare the flat and wavy areas.

Why

The practitioner says a clean finish requires filing that creates a flat state.

03Demonstration module

Smooth a hammer-marked curve

Read contact, follow the radius, vary direction

When hammer marks are not to be retained, use a larger file to remove unevenness and follow the radius. Eliminate the alternating contact and non-contact areas, work from multiple directions, and progress to a finer file.

Remove hammer marks with a larger file

When the hammer texture is not being retained, use a larger file to remove the uneven marks.

Why

Hammer-forming leaves uneven marks on the object.

Do not work only one spot; move the file with the radius of the curved surface.

Why

Removing the alternating contact and non-contact areas produces a smoother line.

04Demonstration module

Cut on the push stroke

Straighten the face, brace the work, respect cut direction

A narrow face can also be filed straight. The practitioner braces the work against the bench pin to resist the push and emphasizes the basic direction: the file cuts when pushed, not when pulled back.
