Fret Beveler

Low-friction files for fret ends.

The Fret Beveling File is the fast, accurate way to put a uniform 35° bevel on fret ends after installing new frets. With a quick, smooth motion, this file angles the fret ends and makes them ready for fret dressing and polishing. Available in either 3-3/4″ or 7-1/2″ filing lengths. The short one is perfect for the short space between the 5th string peg and the nut on all banjos.

This 1-1/2″ x 1-3/4″ block (two lengths are available) holds a removable fine-tooth flat file at the proper 35° angle to bevel all the fret ends along the edge of the fingerboard. The block is made of low-friction material for smooth, easy filing. The 3-3/4″ model is for short fingerboards (mandolins, for example), and for spot-filing partial refrets. It’s also useful for working on used instruments with necks that aren’t straight. Made in the USA.

Replacement files available.
