Double-edge Fret File

If you've spent any length of time re-crowning leveled frets the old fashioned way, you'll kick yourself for not getting one of these sooner, it realy saves time and makes fret crowning MUCH easier.
TIP; Don't ride the file, use a light touch, Let the file do the work. You'll have less chatter and tool marks to polish out.

Good tools saves accurate damage and saves valuable time great accuracy can be reached

I bought the 4490 double edge files for my solid body guitar project. The frets were already installed just needed leveling and crowning after neck set. I used the wooden radius block and the files. I should have bought the fretting kit because it was just a little more than the radius blocks/files. Anyway they were easy to use and got excellent results was able to get 3/64 action with very little rattle.

I first bought the narrow/medium file and it works fine if you clean it after every few strokes. I then bought the medium/wide jumbo fret file and the med jumbo side chattered like crazy and was a nightmare to use. I had a little winge to Stewmac about it and 3 days later there was a brand new complimentary one in the mail box! Expedited shipping USA to New Zealand. Perfect! New one works well. Thanks Stewmac; top score for customer service.

No helpfull tips on what size you need for your crowns so make sure you know what your getting befor you buy

this file got the flat areas out of my new fret job and the radius on the top was perfect. good file.

The best fret file ever. Period!

Has a tendency to chatter and is a little more aggressive then I like.

Nice files, get both of them.

I bought this fret file after I recognized that I'm not able to made fret crowning work using self made tool (from some internet project). With this tool I finished fret crowning in 2 hours. This was my first fret levelling work and I strongly recommend buying this tool!
