I did many hundreds of hours hand scraping and filing during my apprenticeship in the late sixties, early seventies :) A good roughing hand tool is a new flat 8 inch sharpening block to get rid of large high spots. Use it like a sanding block. >My question is, can comp_file be used to map out those inconsistent >heights in software, so that I don't have to file and scrape anymore? ;-) A good hardware fix is always better than a software fudge. As per other suggestions, rig up a dremel or the like to finish it off.
