FretGuru Fret Crowning File °Dagger 2.0° Professional Guitar Luthier Tool Electric Acoustic Bass

I haven't had any experience with crownings before, so I don't have anything else to compare it with. So far, I have only used it on one guitar, and it works as expected to level the frets after crowning. There are no signs of damage. It appears durable and well made. The overall impression I have is that I made the right choice, and this is a tool that will last for a long time. I chose this over other files on Amazon since the other ones seem junky and the item descriptions contain grammatical and spelled Those tools appear to be of low quality and reliability, which makes me doubt the quality. The owner also provides a paper that contains additional information, as well as her cell phone number I have not yet tried contacting him by phone or email, but it seems legitimate. I am more confident using the tool since it makes me feel more comfortable. Added to the fret guru leveling beam I bought was a fret guru leveling Likewise, this also seems to work well and be well made. If there are more tools available from fret guru, I will definitely purchase them. Cooking with Stew Mac is too expensive, while using some of the no name tools is probably cheap because it's not well made. I am the guru of freaks. The name Bernard. Please make a YouTube video showing how to use this file if you are reading this. We beginners could learn how to use it most effectively if it was available.

I've used the Fret Guru on two guitars already, and I'm so glad I did. Fréts are crowned in a fast and safe manner, which I appreciate. In addition to using a sharpie to mark the frets after leveling, I also run this file over them after it. In this way, I can see whether the frets are crowned without cutting the height of the fretboard. It was quick for me to learn that going slow led to smoother In my case, this file left some small vibration marks on the fret after I filed too fast - they took a long time to sand As far as I've tried it on, it works well with the medium and jumbo frets on the new acoustic guitar and electric bass I've bought. If your frets are narrow, then I'm not sure how well it will work. My wish is that a narrower version was available as well.

It speaks for itself how much time and thought went into making the Dagger. The Dagger 2 gives me such perfect results crowning frets that I have never experienced before. It's easy to see how this product would sell for more than It is still worth $100 and I would still purchase it in a heartbeat! The Fret Guru team deserves a lot of credit for doing what they do to bring a truly remarkable fret file to market. This is one of the best articles I've read!.

You won't waste your money on a Stemac file! This thing makes crowning even for an amateur fool proof and super fast. Just a few passes on a fret even with a good bit of material taking off during the level process makes crowning effortless and fool-proof. It was an absolute delight to use such an effective and high quality The tool is made in Europe and not in In addition to the sleeve, this tool comes with a cool little bag to protect it while in your toolbox. It is a very highly rated product and I'm planning on buying another one if this one I'm in love with this!.

In order to ensure a flat board, I sanded the frets with a radius block and used a fret rocker up and down the board at low E, G, and high E positions. The crowning file was used on all frets after they had been flattened. With the file, each of the frets have a perfectly centered single point of contact, and all of them are flat as they were before, but are My heart would skip a beat if I had to buy this again. It is a quality tool for the price. I have used it only.

In the last two weeks, I have built two of the best fret crowning jobs of my life with the Fret Guru fret file. As a hobbyist luthier, I have tried all sort of different fret files, including the famous baroque 3 channel fret file. While it does an excellent job of cutting the sides of the fret, it does not make cuts on The crowning is aggressive enough between two treatment sessions so that you don't feel as if it's taking forever, but not so aggressive that you are afraid you will take As soon as I started using it I found that the teeth clogged very quickly, and I had to clean them with a wire brush (which was super quick and easy, by the way), but eventually I found that less downward pressure led to As a consequence of the nature of teeth, a fairly smooth finish is left on frets after filing that is easy to polish. It will be a while before I get around to the StewMac Z files, but the one I have in hand now makes me doubt I In the future, I will purchase another one when this one reaches the end of its useful life. Fifteen frets can be crowned with this.

°Dagger 2. The FretGuru Fret Crowning °Files. A 0° file is an extremely useful tool, well thought out in terms of the design of the tool. Product is easy to use, is professionally made, and the end result is as desired. A very good package. Here are some points to consider. A few bucks extra is well worth it.

1 in other categories Crowning files are not always the best option when it comes to diamonds. The wear out fairly quickly, especially when they are stainless. They work both directions and are fast. This file is the king of the forward strokes for crowning. It is fast, doesn't clog too much, and leaves a neater finish than the average outgoing file. It leaves fewer file marks, making it easier to finish with sand paper. It helps to reduce overfiling on the fret ends because the radius on the file facilitates that. Any help that makes the job go more quickly is a blessing when fret leveling is involved. About three months have passed since I used it. I like this protective case because it protects against chips. Widths that can be used!.
