3. Easy-to-Follow Procedure: The procedure for using the Checkering File is similar to wood checkering. Start by laying out your master lines or using a guide like our .45 Checkering Guide. Then, establish the pattern by moving the file a few teeth each time, using the previous lines as a guide.

4. Final Depth with Needle File: Once you have fully laid out the pattern, bring it to the final depth using a 60° needle file. This step ensures that your checkering work is consistent and professional in appearance.
