Hi Craig - I use the fret end file that Stewmac sells, it has one smooth surface that bares against the wood surface to prevent marking up the fretboard edges. |

Hi Paul Have you had a look at Tim Mcknights article in the jigs section ? I use his file design foe beveling and then the little stewmac file the same as lance for dressing the end. The thing I find with the Stewmac file is it files very smooth and the rounded safe edge doesn't mark. Fret File |
