StewMac 3-Corner Fret Dressing Files, Set of 3

Our 3-Corner Fret Dressing Files are specially made for traditional fret crowning and shaping.

SAVE when you buy all 3 files together!

Smooth corners protect the fretboard. These special files are for those who prefer a traditional method of fret crowning. Their smooth corners won't leave scratches in the fretboard, and they're great for shaping the ends of the frets.

• The small fine-cut file has 3" x 1/8" tapered cutting surfaces and is 7-3/8" long.
• The medium-cut file has 5" x 1/4" tapered surfaces and is 8" long.
• The 9"-long large file is known as a cant saw file, and is a favorite of our fret expert Dan Erlewine and many other well-known luthiers. It has a versatile flattened-triangle shape, with a 4-5/8" x 1/2" and two 4-5/8" x 5/16" cutting surfaces.
• All files have comfortable rubber-coated handles.

Works on stainless frets, too! All of our tools are suitable for use on stainless-steel fretwire, with the exception of our Fret Tang Nippers. 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 files or sandpapers.
