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.
These Offset Diamond Fret Files are the choice of many professional guitar makers and repairers. The diamond coating is long-lasting and gives a relatively smooth finish, which requires less sanding and polishing than standard files. The offset design allows for safer and more comfortable use on the frets in the section over the soundboard
You can use only one of the files and get an excellent result, however having the choice of the Coarse and Fine makes dressing frets quicker and easier. The Coarse (150 grit) file is best for rapid recrowining, especially when a lot of levelling was needed and they are very flat. Fine tuning and scratch removal can be done with sandpaper or a 300 grit file (see below). The Fine (300 grit) gives a smoother result, requiring less scratch removal, but it takes longer to crown the frets than the Coarse does.
