Here is tip for identifying your different file cuts from @kkmetalwerk4640 - “I got tired of trying to locate the right file cut so bought some inexpensive nail polish to color code my files. 0 is red, 2 is blue, 4 is purple. I do have a few other cuts like 1, 5, 6 but not very many, so if I need one of those they are easier to find now that the most common cuts have a color.” Great idea Karla! You can also use the nail polish for other tools as well! If you also use nail polish to identify other tools send me pics please! Would love to share :) #jewelryfiles #jewelrytools
