File selection cannot be reduced to a formula or table but is based to a great degree on experience. However, the chart below gives you a great starting point for file selection.
Keep in mind, there is more to file selection than shape alone. Selecting the correct cut to use is determined by the type of the metal you’re working on, as well as the amount of material to be removed and your desired finish. For example, rapid removal of stock often indicates a cut 00, while working on narrow surfaces would suggest a cut 2 and a fine cut such as cut 4 or cut 6 would be used for final finishing operations.
Types of Files
Swiss Pattern Precision Files: The original Swiss files made in hundreds of shapes and sizes.
Swiss Needle Files: A group of files of various cross-sections with a knurled, round handle. Knurling gives the file a positive, non-slip grip for precision filing.
Escapement Files: Also called small Square Handled Needle Files. A group of files of various cross-sectioned shapes with a length of cut varying from 3/4" to 2-1/2", with square handles.
Rifflers: Originally used and hand forged by die sinkers, die makers, silversmiths, etc., in shapes and cross-sections appropriate to their work. Teeth are cut on small areas on each end and can have a variety of shapes. A long middle portion serves as the handle.

Funny bunny book
Format: Paperback
Cute book, farts are difficult to pronounce but it gives my kid a good laugh when I try. Must have been written during the pandemic, they poke fun at the flimsy surgical masks which can't contain a fart, let alone a highly contagious engineered virus. I'd recommend it for kids 5 and under.
