I don't know how I've accumulated so many.  Am I the only one?

I probably have around 25-30 different ones.  I bought a box of random brand new Pferd metal files from a closed shop for $20.

I have quite a few, seems that they multiply when you aren't looking

That's it? I have many times that, from cheap files used for sacrificial work, and quality for finer work. Coarse for rapid material removal, and fine for delicate adjustments. All shapes and sized for all sorts of tasks.

Those are rookie numbers. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of dull files and many more various shapes and sizes scattered throughout the shop.

Used a file on a steel project yesterday and noticed part of the mill bastard was clogged up with aluminum.  It's there a way to clean that out?

You need a file card.  (It's a special brush.)
