Our best-selling fret crowning file has precision-cut teeth for accurate fret shaping.
These popular traditional 7-3/8" x 5/8" tool-steel files have two different 4" hollow-ground cutting edges, for recrowning a variety of fretwire sizes. These files were designed by luthiers for luthiers and are an economical way to get your fretting kit started. The handle is rubber-coated for comfort.
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 files or sandpapers.
