Great answers. The barrel of the conductor does indeed push 1/8" past the end of the plastic housing. Recessed.
And woe-is-me, down here. About the only thing I can think of is to try using a rough aluminum oxide sharpening stone instead of the file.
The barrel conductors must not be genuine Anderson, even though they were advertised as such. They were not especially a bargain. I am going to try reversing the crimper jaw direction tomorrow with the tip or "stake" uppermost which because the conductor's barrel seam is on top does not make sense but oh well. Filing the top of the conductor barrel down is "all" that needs to make it fit. The sides do not bulge. At least the plastic housings "pair" correctly.
Thanks everyone!
