The factory uses...or used to use 4 inch barrette files to final fit extractor ratchets. Ratchet teeth are still pre-cut with a hardened hand fit to a trigger with a handle welded on for leverage.

Congratulations on your hand work.....final fitting an extractor is one of the most critical, tedious and difficult fitting jobs to do correctly.
