I'm trying to find a half or full-round file of a particular diameter, but it seems to be rarely mentioned (and when it has been, they've been much smaller than I'm looking for).
Are they just not made/advertised/sold this way because they're not expected to be used for such precision – or is there a different term for similar large instruments that might be available in a range of diameters?
Die for creating sheetmetal hemispheres. There should be a set of punches with round ball ends somewhere in that mix, unless someone misused them for something else or lost them.
Doming Block and Punch Set is one term for the tool set. The die is also called a dapping block. You can find them at jewelry tool suppliers.
Really too dangerous cutting small base shoe molding with a circular saw.
It is so easy to cut that you should just buy one of those cheap wooden miter boxes that you use with a fine toothed back saw.
Sometimes these even come with the saw as a kit.

Files are not a precision tool, so they come in a big variation of sizes. If you want a specific size, there are numbered drill bits , letter drill bits and fractional drill bits. Each drill bit above has a ream to make it exact size.
