Perry,
This is my jig for holding rowels for filing..but I bet there are some bettter ones out there.
Hope this helps

Hi Perry, what I do to file my rowels is to put and old dead 3/16" drill bit into my vice sticking up just enough to not poke through the top of the rowel, sit in a comfortable chair with my optivisors on and file away. I use some leather underneath the rowel though to keep it from getting scratched up, even paper or cardboard will do. A nice trick is to put duct tape at the bottom edge as you're filing on some rowels, sp that if you go past the middle you have a barrier from scratching up the other side where it shoudn't be. It's not foolproof but works better than nothing.
