Filarenka

[Joseph Kurosz]

My great great grandmother worked in Iggesunds bruk and her occupation is listed as filarenka.  Could someone tell me what that might have involved?  
 
Thanks, Joseph

She was a widow (enka) and her late husband was working with some kind of grinding (fila)

Well, her late husband was a filer [filare], working with a file (hand tool) on metal products.
