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 Well

I use my 14-inch radius block a lot and am very happy with it.

Fast and accurate

I think that these ones are the easiest way to fix a uniform radius with great accuracy. I find it a little difficult to achieve a uniform radius from plane wood. I didn't used any of them for compound radius. I wish only that the aluminum beams were cheaper.

Great for the price

I bought a set of 8" wood radius blocks. I chose them because they are much cheaper than the aluminum ones. The wood blocks are well made and the radius' are accurate. They make fret leveling much faster and easier than using a flat sanding block. The only thing I can say about them that might be negative is the edges of the blocks splinter slightly. They are still usable, just a little splintered around the edges.

Right tool for the job.

I bought the whole set. There really isn't a better way to get level frets.

Recomended

As an amateur guitar builder I can't think in a easiest and more precise way to give the curvature to a neck. really nice!

Nicely made

I decided to get one of these as they were cheaper than one of the 16" flat fret leveling bars. The block worked well, I attached double sided tape and cut a piece of wet and dry to the right size. (However in retrospect I should have gotten the flat bar as I now have 2 guitars of different radii that need leveling. My fault, not the products.)

For their purpose, these work well.
