Yes, the Mill Bastard files in this set are excellent for deburring and sharpening edge tools like lawn mower blades.
Yes, these files work well on plastics, though plastic debris can clog teeth quickly, so clean them often.
The handles are designed as a permanent ergonomic feature, but in standard file use, they are typically not intended for removal.
Use a specialized file card (a brush with stiff wire bristles) to clean material out of the teeth after every session.
These are general-purpose files and may be too coarse for delicate jewelry work; specialized needle files are recommended for that purpose.
The teeth are likely clogged with material filings; use a file card or stiff wire brush to clean the gullets.
Ensure the tang of the file is fully seated within the handle; if the handle remains loose, check for debris inside the handle bore.
There is no setup required for this tool set; simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use. To maintain the life of your files, always store them in the included pouch to prevent the teeth from clashing against other metal tools, which can dull the edges. Avoid using files on hardened steel or materials that are significantly harder than the file teeth. After use, use a file card or wire brush to remove debris and filings from between the teeth, as built-up material can cause the file to skate over the work surface.
