StewMac Concave Fret End Files, Set of 2 (1 for Medium Frets, 1 for Wide Frets)

Description: Extra-versatile files for fret end shaping. SAVE when you by this set of both file sizes! These unique tools are for use after the frets have been installed, trimmed flush to the sides, and beveled with a flat file. The single-cut toothed concave filing surface of these files makes smoothing the fret ends and delicately blending them into the crown of the fret more efficient. A professional touch, and a great fix for fret ends that protrude in dry weather, too. Efficient design: Each file has a slim shape and 30-degree angled end, for good control and ease of use. The right tool for the job. Concave surface: Single-cut teeth help blend the fret ends into the fret crown. Safe surface: Opposite the concave edge is a flat, untoothed surface to protect the fretboard when you're filing with the side surfaces. Toothed sides: The single-cut teeth on the sides file away metal burrs and help smooth the bevel on the fret ends. Safe corners: Each file also has smooth untoothed corners to help prevent damage to the fingerboard and the upper edges of bound necks. Each of these sturdy steel files is 7-7/8" long (similar files from other suppliers are only 3"), a practical length for filing fret ends without jamming the handle against the edge of the fretboard. The file handle is rubber-coated for comfort. More file specifications: Cutting surface length is 2-3/4". Medium file has a cutting width of .080" (2mm) Wide file has a cutting width of .120" (3mm) Works on stainless frets, too! All of our tools are suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire, with the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers. Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of files or sandpapers.
