File question
Bill Tindall, E.Tn.
How are files measured? Is a 10" file 10" of cutting length or 10" tang to tip?
What is the name of the cut where there are single grooves going diagonally?

A file’s length is measured from the base of its heel to the end of its point. The tang or handle is not included when determining the length.
Single cut.
Sometimes referred to as a mill file
