Fret end dressing

I was thinking of getting one of these "Ultimate Fret end dressing files" from E-bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ultimate-Fret...I&otn=3&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=822475406985014509
But I thought they were a bit expensive
so I had a go at making my own..First I studied the Video to see what was required..I got hold of some 4mm square files...ground off the the teeth top and bottom ( on the Jet Sander) and dressed off the corners on the top side only..and it was done ..I did a few while I was at it. And they work fine just like in the video.
And they worked out at £1.16p each

I've done the same. Little 4" flat file with the faces taken off makes a great nut file using the milled edge. In fact, most of my hand tools are modified in one way or another, especially chisels - I have a set of 5mm stubb skew chisels for the days when i hand notched braces into linings; these started out as 1/4" bevel edged 'junk' chisels on ebay bought for £1.50...

Great, Tim.
I rounded the corners of a triangular file, I can sculpt hemispherical fret ends with it.

I only started this to show that you dont have to spend money on the so called "propper tools for the job"... what works best for you!.. is the right tool.

Works for me too!
