I built 1000s of rods with out one, it just speeds the process up. I used to use a file but I will tell you the work sharp sharpener really makes it easier. Best thing I will say I have paid for in building rods. you can keep the shape of the foot very easy and you can go as slow as you need to by how hard you push against the belt.
