Instructions
This 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" block (two lengths are available) holds a removable fine-tooth flat file at the proper 35° angle to bevel all the fret ends along the edge of the fingerboard. The block is made of low-friction material for smooth, easy filing. The 3-3/4" model is for short fingerboards (mandolins, for example), and for spot-filing partial refrets. It's also useful for working on used instruments with necks that aren't straight.

Nice but could be upgraded

This beveling file is nice, well made and work as it's supposed to. But, that would be great to have a 90° angle in addition to the 35° to file the frets flush to the fretboard on a freshly fretted neck.

Works!

This tool works pretty good, and doesn't mar up the binding like I thought it might on my L5, Les Paul, or Taylor T5. It's not adjustable, so you can't set the angle you want. But it's certainly great for a shrunken fingerboard where the frets are scraping up your hand.

Perfect tool for perfect results

What would I do without StewMac? This tool is foolproof and, being quite the fool, it has saved me many a headache. It puts on the perfect bevel every time. Amazing.

Easy Bevel

OH YES..... the fret beveling file takes the guess work out of beveling and gives a consistent bevel. :-O)) I'd like to see a fine grit insert that would polish the bevel.

Fret Beveling File

The number one complaint that I see the most of are protruding frets or just a rough fret board on a guitar, banjo ect. With this tool I can quickly remedy the problem with out the worry of marring the neck. It is very fast and does a wonderful job. Would not be without it.
