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.

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.

Just Buy It

For a long time, I was planning on making one of these myself. I never seemed to get around to it and and my fret work suffered. I finally just bought a pair of these; they work great and I wish I had purchased them a long time ago.

Fret Bevelling File

Works fine and much better than trying to use a straight flat file. I find working on about 4 frets at a time is better than trying to extend over the length of the fingerboard. This way I don't slip off the fret ends and across the frets.
