Fret Polishing Wheels

Out of the box these wheels need to be shaped to the fret wire first. Some practice in rotary tool speed, angle of attack and a light touch is required. Needless to say, practice on scrap before you work on your instrument. Once I got the hang of it, the results were much better than I expected, and the amount of work much lower that polishing manually. This was my first fret job, so view the feedback accordingly... :) The kit also came in quite handy when I had to adjust a fret after finding a buzz, then had to re-polish. Great tool set!

These wheels, along with a felt wheel and rouge make frets shine like mirrors... These remove minute scratches with little effort...

Gone are the days of steel wool and strings dragging across less than mirror-polish results during bends. Require a light touch, but this is the road to perfection.

They are hard to control and it's really easy to ding the fretboard. You have to tape off the fretboard or use some protector, more work. They seem to do an uneven job of polishing too. It's much better to just pinch them between your fingers and use them by hand rubbing back and forth.

Not bad but I could not get the results I was looking for on my fretwork. I recommend the Micro-Mesh system instead. It's more work but you will achieve gleaming results!

Coupled with a Foredom tool and a little experience this system is blazing fast! The most important thing is to take one quick light stroke with a wheel that's been grooved with a round file. A little goes a long way!

These work well as stated but are tricky to use as you must first groove the discs properly

it's a real challenge to sit them at 90 degrees to the fret you are trying to polish
even if you're using the flexible shaft on the Dremel
so you want to make the groove in the wheel ideally off centre so you can angle the Dremel a bit.

Wheel can slip off fret suddenly if you're not careful and cause marks on fretboard

Use with care!

Indeed, they'll make 'em shine but Micro Mesh over a medium density foam pad is WAY FASTER with no worries about running off the fret and "engraving" the fret board.

I used these polishing wheels on an ES-335 and they work great. I chucked them directly into my old dremel tool and had no trouble getting a quick mirror finish on the frets. What a great timesaver. I would recommend these to anyone.

Almost every guitar I get in for a set up or repair has dull or corroded frets. These polishing wheels work great to get them nice and shiney again.
