- Files fret ends flush and bevels - 90-degree & 35-degree angle files - Fast and precise - Works on all fret sizes and materials - Reversible file for extended use - Hardened Steel file - Smooth Acrylic block - 150mm (5.90") Length File down and bevel fret ends with ease! The Fret Beveling File allows you to quickly file the ends of the newly-installed frets flush to the side of the fingerboard, then bevel them on a perfect 35 degree angle. It takes the guess work out of finding the right angle and gives a more consistent result than working by eye. The durable plastic block glides over the frets while the hardened steel file cuts back the fret. The file can be removed and turned as it wears out, giving 4 cutting surfaces and a lifespan of dozens of fingerboards. The steel file works great on Nickel, EVO and Stainless-steel frets. The lifespan of the file will be reduced slightly when used on Stainless.

Details

To Use -

Vertical cut of fret ends -

1) Check the that the file won’t hit the top of the guitar, if it will do not use it.

2) If the fret surfaces are already dressed and polished tape up the face of the frets to avoid scuffing them with the block.

3) Sit the block on the top of the frets with the file against the fret ends. For radiused fingerboards hold the block horizontal so that it runs along the centre of the fingerboard, it will cut the ends more vertical.

4) Run the file back and forward, grinding down the frets until they are level with the side of the fretboard.

5) Finish off with a sanding block with 240 grit sandpaper

3) Sit the block on the top of the frets with the file against the fret ends. For radiused fingerboards either hold the block horizontal, or slightly angled to match the curve. Either is fine, just keep this consistent.

4) Run the file back and forward, grinding down the corners of the frets until the bevels just meet the corner of the fretboard.

5) Finish off with a sanding block with 240 grit sandpaper and our Fret End Dressing File.
