Guitar Fret Crowning Tool. DIAMOND concave File. No Chatter. Luthier file TF081:
$45.42

Fret Crowning Tool with DIAMOND CONCAVE file.
Designed and Manufactured By Chris Alsop in his workshops in Derbyshire, UK.

Frets need to be rounded to remove the flat tops after levelling, or when you dress frets to remove wear grooves. A rounded fret top is best achieved by using a rounded file ! This is a diamond fret crowning file. A diamond file with a concave profile is mounted in shaped handle made of engineering plastic.These files last for many fretboards : diamond is the hardest known substance known and many little diamonds are embedded in a surface plating. As the surface wears new diamonds are exposed. They are equally long lasting on stainless frets and normal nickel silver frets. The file is permanently attached to the handle.The diamond file itself is 2.5mm wide by about 35mm long and is concave to match the fret profile - when in use the file stays on the fret very well, there's no chatter.An excellent finish results and a fully polished fret is quickly obtained by going through the sandpaper from coarse to fine grit: 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 and finally 2500 grit - it's only a couple of rubs with each and when you use the spring steel strip to protect the fretboard then the paper glides across the surface of the fret and strip easilyI have geared the design of this so that its comfortable use, economic to produce, but has the full advantages of diamond abrasion. It weighs only about 40 grammes.As always, before using any type of abrasive tools on a guitar it is recommended suitable masking (such as fretboard protector strip) is used to protect the fretboard wood and other parts of the guitar.

We have used a very low friction engineering plastic (so if you do slip it will not scratch badly!),which is used in many of our other fretting tools. 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!
