Low-friction files for fret ends.
Sold individually or SAVE when you buy the set of both files.

The Fret Beveling File is the fast, accurate way to put a uniform 35° bevel on fret ends after installing new frets. With a quick, smooth motion, this file angles the fret ends and makes them ready for fret dressing and polishing. Available in either 3-3/4″ or 7-1/2″ filing lengths.

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.

Needle, hose, handle, and clamp

Steel-string guitar neck removal is often aided by injecting steam into the dovetail neck joint to loosen the glue. The steam is applied through one or more small holes drilled through a fret slot, and into the joint.

Our hose assembly has an extra-long 3-1/2″ x 1/16″ injector needle, heat and moisture resistant handle, 1/4″ hose rated for heat and pressure, and hose clamp for attachment to a pressure cooker or other steam source (such as the Mr. Coffee espresso/cappuccino maker Model ECM10).
