Differences between hand file and flat file?

The original answer was "difference between flat file and hand file". Not an answer, only repeats the question. @@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@*** [ This question seems to have been placed, originally, in the wrong category: Database Programming. It contains the term "flat file", which does make it seem to be a computer item, but flat file can also refer to a type of hand tool. The fact that the question deals with the difference between a hand file and a flat file, two varieties of a common hand tool, makes it clear that this question should be in a category addressing tools in general, and hand tools in particular. It may be that the person asking the question thought "hand file" referred to a type of computer storage file, and thus placed the question in what he thought was the appropriate category. My answer addresses the two terms as they relate to metal or wood working, so I copied the question (and answer) to the only existing category that fits: Building and Carpentry. I wish there were a separate category under Home and Garden for just "Tools", but there isn't, so I chose Building and Carpentry. In doing so, I may be just confusing the issue. I hope I didn't, and if I did, I'm sorry. OffGrid9 ] @@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@***@@@*** A hand file is rectangular in cross section, parallel in both width and thickness from end to end. One edge (the "safe edge" has no teeth, allowing a user to file one surface right up to the edge in a corner without marring the other surface. In recent years, it is common to find hand files that taper in thickness, but the width is still parallel. A flat file is similar to a hand file. It is also rectangular in cross section, but it tapers in both thickness and width, and it does not have a safe edge. In older flat files, the width was usually parallel for most of the file's length, then curved near the end to taper in. On modern flat files, the width usually tapers in throughout the file's length - the sides may curve, the taper increasing towards the end, or the sides may be straight, with the taper being continuous from end to end.
