Default Looking For A Tool

I am looking for a electric or battery operated reciprocating file. I have this guy Sander / Filer Set, 110v AC, but it's light duty, I am looking for one with more power. Any ideas??

Dave

Could you take the reciprocating carving hand piece from the Foredom or Wecheer and make a custom "sander" to fit it instead of a using a blade? Another option is an air tool, like this Amazon.com: Florida Pneumatic Mfg. 997K Reciprocating Saw File Kit: Home Improvement

I would rather avoid pneumatic if at all possible, I like the Foredom or Wecheer idea but I don't have either. A while back I had seen a file that fit into a reciprocating saw, that would work great in my battery operated saw 2420-21 M12 Red Lithium 12 Volt Hackzall Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit-2420-21 at The Home Depot, wish I had bought it.

Dave, I'll try to remember to ask my husband later if he knows anything about this kind of tool. He's a carpenter, so maybe he has.
