Use our hardwood sanding blocks as fret levelers, with 220 through 400-grit Stikit self-adhesive abrasives. With 80 through 220-grit Stikit, they're used for shaping fingerboards. They apply a radius quickly, accurately and without guesswork. For compound radii, change blocks as you progress along the neck.

Also see our shorter blocks for spot leveling, and for use as clamping cauls when gluing frets.

Each hardwood block is 8" (203.20mm) long and 2-3/4" (69.85mm) wide.

What's your radius?
Quickly find the curvature of a fingerboard or bridge with a set of radius gauges. Use them frequently to check your work as you smooth or shape a fingerboard or frets: a quick visual check keeps you from accidentally altering the shape—a mistake that's easy to make and hard to fix.

Radius Gauges


Cut and stick!
3M Stikit Gold Paper Self-adhesive Abrasives are the right width for our leveling and radius sanding tools. Attach 80 through 220-grits for radiusing and leveling the fingerboard, and 220 through 400-grits for leveling the frets.

Works great

No complaints - a big precisely curved chunk of wood. I haven't seen a need to get the fancy sticky sandpaper - regular stuff and normal sanding block techniques work just fine.

As expected...

I've purchased a few of these for use during setup jobs. They work like a charm with the self adhesive sand paper and are high quality hard wood.

8" Radius Sanding Block

Worked perfectly, hard to imagine trying to get a perfect radius without it.

Glad I bought it

The 8 inch sanding block made quick work of re-radiusing my own bass neck. Could not be happier with it.

Radiado Perfecto!!

Necesitaba rectificar el mástil de Maple de mi Strat. antes de colocar nuevos trastes.
Con éste artículo ha quedado el mástil con su radio de 9,5" perfectos y sin esfuerzo.
Os lo Recomiendo!!

Well worth it

I've used them several times and with great results. You can sand with confidence. Very good radius blocks.

Great product

I use these blocks to radius fretboards and flush up inlays.

Indispensable. While you can make these yourself in your shop, the stew mac blocks are so well designed and inexpensive, it isn't worth the effort of setting up all the jigs and fixtures to make one from scratch.

Great!

I bought this one because I couldn't afford the big aluminum (I'm living off of what I call 'the 13 year old salary' ha)but if you can afford the aluminum one, buy it! But these work great too! But it comes down to what you can afford. If you can't afford patience, don't buy this, if you can afford patience, that's some more cash in your pocket. Great job stew mac!
