The most durable and efficient nut-slotting file available. Specially designed for nut slotting, this file cuts two different width slots. .050" and .060"
This .050" / .060" steel file cuts on the edges only, and tapers from the center to a different thickness on each cutting edge.
Rubber-coated handles give firm, comfortable control for the job. The complete set includes edge widths for filing round-bottom nut slots on most stringed instruments, including basses. The file's cutting edge is approximately 3-7/8" (98.43mm) long.
Tip: Customize your filesWe recommend that you mark on each side of your files so while working you can quickly tell the different gauge of cut.
Here's how: make a cut on a scrap piece of bone or wood with both sides of the nut file, then measure the width of each cut with to determine which side is which. Guitar of known gauges will also work as measuring tools in a pinch.
Once you have determined the proper edge, mark the file accordingly with a permanent marker.
