Probably work, never tried it. With the diamond files you can set up little or new platforms.

Sorry about that Lee, I do understand.  I have a few stemmed points that started that way too.

Lee, just Google Diamond files and you will find a bunch. A good set is about $20. How do ya'll think Sawfiler sets up those platforms for his beautifull serrations ::) :D.

I use the tip of my notcher &  lightly brush up to remove any fine edges. The one thing I will stress in notching is keep your tip sharp! When mine gets dull I break them!

I hate to see that kinda thing.  Too many of my points are shorter and narrower than they started for that same reason.

That's part of what makes a complete point so special.  Keep after it & better luck on the next one.
