What fleam angle do you file at?
What slope angle?
Here is my current set up with a vise sloping at 45° and only 5° fleam. And it works just fine. I hold file horizontal i.e. parallel to ground and parallel with the lines on fleam board.
I had been filing at 15° fleam and 30°slope but thought the teeth were then too sharp and fragile.
