Each heavyweight rectangular 1" x 2" steel tube is precision-ground for flatness on two opposite sides. The tool's edges are smooth to prevent gouging.

Available in three lengths, to level any fingerboard.

Roger Sadowsky, ace builder and repairman, wrote us to say:
"I have been leveling fingerboards and frets for 30 years and thought I was pretty set in my ways. However, I have recently tried the 16" steel levelers (#4578) and man, talk about teaching an old dog new tricks! My fingerboards have never been better, and they work much better than files for leveling frets. Thank you again, StewMac!!!"

Cut and stick!
3M Stikit Gold Paper Self-adhesive Abrasives are the right width for our leveling and radius sanding tools. Attach 220/320-grit for fret leveling, and 80/120-grit for shaping the fingerboard.

Well Worth It!!!

Simple tool that delivers great results on leveling a fretboard and leveling frets afterward. Don't put off buying this, you'll thank yourself later.

Brilliant

I used to use a long sharpening stone for fret levelling. Now, with this fret leveller I can remove material much faster and with great accuracy and flatness.

Fret levelers

As usual a superb product with many uses beyond leveling frets. This takes a lot of the guesswork and worry out of re-fret jobs

Lo uso per mille lavori

Fantastico! Giusto peso etc... fate passare le corde dentro due alla volta e rettificate con le corde in tensione ed in posizione "di suonaggio". Altro che neck jig!!

Fret to the next level!

If you combine this with the 3M Stikit, that's when it all make sense. I'm a hobbyist luthier and I can say that this made a significant difference in term of neck action (lower). Great addition to the fretting tool box

MY FAVORITE

I AM SURE I HAVE ONE OR MORE OF EVERYTHING STEW MAC OFFERS FOR LEVELING THE FGBD. I STILL ALWAYS RETURN TO THIS ITEM. ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE LONGER VERSIONS TOO, THE 8" IS THE ONE FOR ME. WE KEEP TAPE ON THE SURFACE EDGE, SO THE CRACK AND PEEL ADHESIVE DOES NOT LEAVE A FILM.
