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.

radiused sanding block

The accuracy of the sanding surface was way below my expectations. It had visible ridges and the radius appeared inconsistent. I had to use scrapers and make a special block for correcting it. If you want a professional product, make your own.

Radius Blocks

They are what they are - former trees whittled down to perform a vital function. I like 'em. Puts a radius on like nobody's business- just add sandpaper and you supply the elbow grease.

A simple tool, but then, I'm a simple man. Price could be better , but I'd rather not use my time to make them myself and I couldn't do it as well anyway. Others I've seen are Poplar & hard maple is superior so I pay the extra few dollars. Not just a one-trick pony either & they'll likely outlast me.

The 2 blocks I have work great for sanding a fretboard or frets. Quality hard Maple. Durable and inexpensive.

Just the Tool!

The 8" wooden radius block combined with the self adhesive sandpaper made a great fretboard out of a bad one in a very short time.I'll have to buy the set now!

This is a very helpful tool. I am using this to radius new frets that need sanding. Recently i used it for changing the neck radius from 16" to 14".

great item

I bought the 8" sanding block and just used it on my first fingerboard. Actually, it is the first neck I have built. I radiused an ebony fingerboard in about 30 minutes with the block, some doublesided tape and sand paper. I feel no need to pay more for fancier radius equipment because used carefully, this tool worked perfectly. My fretboard matched up dead on with my template. I highly recommend it.

These things are brilliant!

I can honestly say that since I've had the full set of these radiused blocks, the quality of my fret dressing work has increased ten-fold!
They make my life a whole lot easier, and I have the confidence that I'm going to end up with a fretboard that feels great!
I also use them for refinishing a rosewood/ebony board.
Love them!
