Metalworking tool (4)

I believe the answer is:

file

(Other definitions for file that I've seen before include "Set of related records kept together" , "Smoothing tool; organised data" , "Cutting tool or line of people" , "Smoothing tool - orderly batch of documents" , "Document folder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
