Our 3-Corner Fret Dressing Files are specially made for traditional fret crowning and shaping.
Smooth corners protect the fretboard. These special files are for those who prefer a traditional method of fret crowning. Their smooth corners won't leave scratches in the fretboard, and they're great for shaping the ends of the frets.
This medium-cut file is 8" long and has 5" x 1/4" tapered surfaces. It features a comfortable rubber-coated handle.
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.
