MN830 Diamond Coated Guitar Fret End Dressing File (E-File), Luthier & Tech Tool for Fret Sprout, Sharp Ends & Deburring

Works like a charm. Great tool for someone who’s not afraid of putting in a little elbow grease to get their guitar playing great.

Fantastic luthier tool!!! This works on stainless and regular frets. I have used this in 10 guitars. Gets frets smooth and rounded.

I use this in conjunction with the MusicNomad frets beveling tool, and they do an excellent job of getting the frets to ideal condition that's comfortable to play. The safety feature with the smooth sides makes it easier to use as you don't have to worry about accidentally taking off too much of the fretboard material.

This is well thought out tool, essentially similar to other fret files. The innovation here is the handle, which would be great on a screwdriver, but since filing fret ends is a delicate business, I found I got better and more precise results my with my Stew Mac file which is smaller and held with your fingertips. I also found I could sense how much I was taking off the fret better with the conventional teeth of the Stew Mac file vs. the diamond surface on this file. Still, this is good tool and not overhyped like some other Music Nomad stuff. If you need a fret end file this is a perfectly good choice.

Works really good

This fret file is very well-designed, with a comfortable handle and flat surfaces that protect the fretboard from damage. I like the diamond-coated surface of the file better than a traditional file. You pay a bit more, but you also get a better outcome.

Nice file for frets

This is a great file that is easy to use and did make a big difference in an acoustic guitar I had that had fret ends I thought could be smoother. The handle is ergonomic and two sides of the file are totally smooth, as is the tip, so you realize can’t damage your guitar as you use it. Just make sure to watch some videos so you get the angle right - you’re not supposed to file it flush. Also, they put an arrow on the handle to let you know which file side is the coarser side, but to be honest I found it confusing because the arrow pertains to how you’re holding the handle when it should have just pointed to the coarser side itself. It’s technically pointing towards one of the totally smooth “safe” sides. Music Nomad also sells a B-File with the wooden handle but that is really more for actual fret sprout, not smoothing out fret ends.

Works perfectly for dressing fret ends. Had never tried to do this myself, one quick trip to YouTube and thirty minutes later my fret ends were smooth and no longer sharp.

Cuts fast on stainless steel frets, beautifully formed surfaces and safe edges and just the right size for fine fretwork. Highly recommended

precise

De très bonne qualité

Nomad gear is pretty expensive, but, you get what you pay for. Most diamond files are far too heavy grit, saying they are 600 when it's more like 150. This is perfect, and I love they put a proper size handle on it. Treat yourself
