Homemade fret-end beveling file

Posted by Turkeychicken on March 29, 2012 at 3:53am

Hi all, I just finished fretting a neck and I thought I would share one of my favorite tools with you guys and gals. It is pretty self explanatory, a 6" piece of 2x3 with a 35-45 degree cut and a file jammed into it. (See Attatchments) It REALLY saves alot of time and the end result looks alot more even vs. going at if freestyle. I just dressed and beveled both sides of a 24 fret neck in under 10 minutes.

Sweet tool, thanks for the post. I love the sound of a new file snapping off in a vice!
