I just purchased a "set" of 5 wood turning bowl chisels, made from files. I'm curious about how these will work for turning bowls. Any advice on the maintenance of these?

I wanted to cut and design or modify some grips for my 1911 pistols with my CNC. I was able to download a couple of 3D models to use but they are in igs file format and I can’t import that into my Vcarve Desktop. I don’t have autocad so I’m looking for something to convert the files to dwg files. There are some free converters out there but I’m afraid to use any I don’t know about. Looking for some advice or if someone can convert them for me. I appreciate any help that can be offered. Ive cut one set but they were not sized exactly right.

After I cut the tenons out, I took them from square to round in just few minutes, testing the fit as I went. -
That little tool box saw I rebuilt last week? Well, needed to hammer a few kinks out of the plate. Got rid of the "wave effect". Decided to clamp the saw up into a "fancy-schmancy" saw vise, and work on the teeth a bit Wood was a hair on the wavy side. Oh well, the wood merely needs to hold things still. Got out a small file... a jointer file. To make all the teeth the same height. Then fitted a file to a fancy handle.. Has a thumbscrew to hold onto a file. got a few teeth done, needed to add a c clamp, to pinch in the top of the jaws a bit. About three strokes, straight across, per tooth. File the saw as a rip cut. No rack was added. Didn't take all that long to get to the end.. Well all done, how about a few cuts to try this saw out? 1 st cut.. Saw cut #2. made a couple more.. I think it is about ready to go. Took it back upstairs, and placed it in the brand new Pine Tool Box. Might just work?

I want to make some handles for my files. I've thought of sandwiching the tangs between two halves of wood. Hollowing out both pieces to accept the tang or milling pieces the same width as the tangs' thickness to fit along the sides. I'd use epoxy to hold the tang in the handle. I have no lathe tools but I can get round stock via other means, but I'd rather just start with square stock and shape them before or after it's installed on the file. What do you all think? Any ideas? Am I on the right track or should I just buy handles? Thanks,
