Q

The teeth of a file may 'clog up' with metal filings and scratch your work. This condition is known as __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common workshop terminology for problems when using a file on metal • What specifically happens when metal filings get stuck between the teeth of the file • Difference between a file not cutting well versus scratching or gouging the work

💭 Think About

• Think about which term is commonly used in metalwork for filings that pack into the teeth of a file • Ask yourself which word best describes small chips of metal sticking in the tool rather than the tool getting stuck in the workpiece • Consider which terms you may have heard in basic shop safety or tool-care instructions about regularly cleaning a file

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the term to metal chips stuck in the teeth of the file, not the file getting stuck in the work • Eliminate any choices that sound more like general jamming or seizing rather than a specific file condition • Recall that proper tool care often includes using a file card or wire brush to remove this specific condition from the teeth
