I've just sorted a pair of Peddinghaus hammers; they were much softer than any of the files I used. I tried some older (cheaper) Sandvik files that I keep around as knock-about files; followed it up with some Grobet files - didn't need the coarsest (bastard - well, that's pretty coarse
), only used the 2nd cut and smooth cut 12". 320 grit wet & dry (Machine Mart, I think - may have been Halfords) to get the worst of the file marks out, then 600, 1200 to clean that up; finished with Abramax on a sisal wheel (buffing - think that all came from Axminster). They'll do for now. Didn't break out the Micromesh for these.
Some days it looks like I'm out to acquire at least one of every tool going...
