This custom-made file gives you a handle on your fret work! It works quickly to level frets or fingerboards, leaving a smooth finish. It's 1" (2.5 cm) wide with a comfortable hardwood handle. The 6" (15 cm) length is useful for general fret levelling use.

This file has single-cut teeth with a steeper angle to eliminate "chatter." it cuts faster and smoother than most fret leveling files, they work quickly and they're great for dressing and beveling fret ends.

It works on stainless frets too! Modern stainless-steel fretwire is known to be harder than the traditional nickel-silver blends, but our own shop experience indicates the wire does not cause premature wear of this file.
