Anyone have any experience with them. I was in Horizon Forest Products yesterday, getting some flooring supplies, and they had boxes of Simonds 8" mill files in the area with the scrapers. Regardless of how fancy flooring sanding machines get, floor finishers still have to hand scrape the corners. They have it figured out what works best and easiest. The scrapers have to be sharpened frequently with a mill file.
I asked the salesman about the Simonds files, and he said that's what the most experienced contractors found to work the best since Nicolson quality has gone down so much, so that's what they stocked. I handled a couple, and they did seem quite nice, but I don't use 8" mill files much, so I didn't get a box. I sharpen floor scrapers with 6" mill files.
Anyway, I checked the Simonds website, and they do have handsaw files listed. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about them.

If not, I'll find some somewhere, and report back. We all know of the complaints about file quality these days.
