I made one from a kit a few years ago. Quite handy for cleaning up internal keyways. Andrew you can make your own files, snap the tang end off and grind the other end down to where it will fit in a piece of tubing, JB Weld the new tang into the tubing, then chuck the file and turn the sleeve to fit your jaws.

And then there were 2 die filers....
Picked up a Butterfly die filer a few weeks ago.
It is mostly back together, just need to strip and repaint the motor housing.
This one will most likely be going to live at a friends place when it is done!

It would be super easy to convert a line trimmer as well.
