Hey Guys,

I've been using a Dremel with Base attachment and custom cutting bits for cleaning and recutting fret slots. This really comes in handy on bound fingerboards, and in this particular job all 24 frets were done in just under 20 min. I made a short video and thought I would share it with you guys.

Yeah.... been doing that since the 80's. Erlewine told me how to do it at a NAMM show. Asked my dentist for a handful of dental bits, and have been using them ever since.

VERY cool, I have ended up re binding necks when I cant get all the debree out of the slots with my weird homemade scraping tool. The bad part is I have all this stuff, I almost feel stupid!!


THANKS for posting this, someone learned something new today!
