Value Bundle #4 - Fret Slotting Mitre Box Kit + Diamond Fret Files + Nut Files

The Fret Slotting Miter Box allows you to accurately cut fret slots with a fret slotting handsaw. The ball-bearing guides make sawing easier and faster as they hold the fret saw perpendicular to the fingerboard. The guides can be adjusted to match the blade precisely. You can quickly slot any board up to 3" (76mm) wide.

These custom made saws are the perfect tool for cutting fret slots in new fingerboards or for cleaning and deepening the slots in existing fingerboards. The 0.023" kerf (width of cut) is perfect for the tangs of all of our fretwires as well as most other common frets. The blade cuts on the pull stroke for more accurate alignment. The Adjustable Depth Stop allows the depth of cut to be set to perfectly suit the height of the fret tang.

Fret files are used for putting the rounded shape back into frets after they are levelled. Fret files can also be used to grind down an individual fret if it's too high.

Nut files are used for cutting or adjusting the slots in the nuts of guitars and basses. Just choose the gauge that matches the string and cut the groove. If the string is bigger than the file, the file can be rocked from side to side to widen the slot slightly. #4050 set is more convenient for electric guitar strings and the #5001 is more convenient for acoustics. #5004 is designed for bass guitars.
