I don't use measurements like you do, the width of the stock is one measurement, but I work with what I have whether it be street bristle or just a straighted cheap headphone band, the first cuts are made with a quarter inch chain saw file which leaves its dimension more or less on the finished pick spacing, then the shaft is cut down to a slight taper thinning toward the tip. I give it the eye to see if the shape is pleasing and thats how I do it.

Also do not try to cut the profile of a pick too closely with the files, there is more meta that will be coming off in the rough sanding and this should be part of the shaping of the pick, then as you get to the finer sand paper its only surface finishing but watch the tips of the peaks and other high points to see that they are not worn off.

meta in the above post should read metal, not all such mistakes are typos by me, some of them are made by the keyboard and others are due to bits getting stuck in the interwires.
