Diamond File Fret Leveller with Oak HandleDiamond File Fret Leveller with Oak Handle
These have a diamond file with a permanently bonded oak handle. They are designed to be guided along the fretboard with the file cutting a level onto the tops, or crown, of the frets.
Fine Diamond files - which consist a coating of industrial diamonds embedded in a flat metal surface - give an extremely smooth finish and also have the advantage that they cut equally well in any direction of travel. This allows a back and forth motion to concentrate the abrasion on a particular area and keep the file always in contact with the fret, which helps achieve better accuracy of cut.
The default files are fine grit file, one 150mm long and one 75mm long.
Diamond files produce a very smooth finish on the frets - this property makes these files suitable for any type of fret shaping. Once the frets are level the flat tops on the frets need reshaping to regain the peaked crown. These files have all sharp edges ground off so can be guided along the fret to reshape the crown. As always, before using any type of abrasive tools on a guitar it is recommended suitable protection. Ideally use our ultra thin hardened steel protector strips (see our other items) to protect the fretboard and allow smooth motion of the file.
We have used Oak for this product as it is a strong and versatile wood used in hand tool handles for years. Beech is also nice for file handles and we make this item in Beech. The tool works equally well in almost any type of wood! Diamond Files are really the best surfaces developed by mankind for abrasion - the resulting surface is by far the smoothest hand filed surface possible - hence less finishing and polishing!

Fretboard Protector StripFretboard Protector Strip
Also known as fingerboard protectors, these strips are made of spring steel. This means it will ALWAYS return to a flat shape. As the strips are only 0.1mm thick this allows maximum access to the frets.

Diamond Fret Dressing File with Beech HandleDiamond Fret Dressing File with Beech Handle
Fret Dressing File. Tapered diamond file with all edges ground. Beech handle which has Angle Raised To About 20 Degrees from Horizontal.
Fine Diamond files - which consist a coating of industrial diamonds embedded in a flat metal surface - give an extremely smooth finish and also have the advantage that they cut equally well in any direction of travel. This allows a back and forth motion to concentrate the abrasion on a particular area and keep the file always in contact with the fret, which helps achieve better accuracy of cut.
The design of this file makes it ideal for : 1. To dress the ends of the frets, which is to just slightly round off the corner between the rounded fret top and the angled bevel. The small profile and the carefully ground edges of this file means the file can get right into the corners where the fret bevelled end meets the fretboard side. 2. Remove some fret height when an individual fret is found to be too high. 3. As the file can be angled along the side of a fret , it can shape the rounded crown of a fret. (A curved Fret Crowning File is the most efficient method for crowning click here to see our curved Fret Crowning Files)
he file is a fine grit diamond file that has been: 1. Ground around all the edges so the abrasive diamond surface of the file only contacts the fret and nothing else. 2. Tapered from 8mm wide near the handle to 4mm near the end to give best access and visibility of the file contacting the fret. 3. The file handle is angled up at about 20 degrees which means your hand can clear the fretboard easily and not aobstruct your work. As this is a diamond file, it cuts equally well when moving forwards OR backwards which makes it very versatile tool, with no chatter, and a scratch free surface is always produced . The excellent finish that results means there is minimal fret polishing, which saves time, and minimises any further abrasion.
