Our files are manufactured from the best quality Crucible File Steel, made in our own steel works. Using over 35,000 dozen Disston Files annually in our shops enables us to watch and maintain a high standard of efficiency and quality.
The Disston Line of regular and superfine files embraces all varieties.
We make a 6-inch Cant Safe Back file especially for filing the No.120 Acme Hand Saw.
On the envelope in which the Disston Saw is packed we recommend the 5 ½-inch Slim Taper File. This pattern and size is satisfactory for general use, but the following table will be valuable to those who desire detailed information on Files suitable for sharpening Hand Saws with rip and cross-cut teeth.
