By bolt you mean the outer part, right? Will that still allow the inner part to thread in OK?

Hold on - you say pop an allen key in, so you mean the inner part? That won't make it do up further will it?

Sorry missed out a step. I'll start again:

***Screw the hex bolt into the slotted nutfrom behind so the inside of the hex bolt sits flush with the slooted end of the bolt ***
Fix file into the vice nice and level and securely.
Put allen key into the hex nut.
Place the inside of the bolt onto the file then file away at it till it is shallow enough. Should take too long.
When I have done this I have marked where I wanted to file to.

Yes - Bolt is the outer part

Think I might do this. They all do up really-nearly-tight, so a mm or so should do the trick...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
