To answer WhitePlainsDave's last question:
-A flat piece of plate glass (vital for refacing any sort of mouthpiece)
-A selection of grits of wet-or-dry sandpaper, both aluminum oxide and silicon carbide types, grits ranging from 100 to 2000.
That's all you really need. However, the choice of sandpaper is critical, as every brand works differently, even in the same nominal grit size. To make matters worse, manufacturers change their formulations without warning. For example, the 3M WetOrDry sandpaper available lately is much different than, and nowhere near as good as, the allegedly same sandpaper I used to buy a decade ago.
Files cannot be used on crystal unless you have a very fine Swiss-pattern file of high quality and are lucky -- otherwise files will chip the glass.
