MusicNomad MN830 Diamond Coated Guitar Fret End Dressing File (E-File), Luthier & Tech Tool for Fret Sprout, Sharp Ends & Deburring

This is a super quality file and the handle really makes it easy to manipulate around fret edges

Nomad gear is pretty expensive, but, you get what you pay for. Most diamond files are far too heavy grit, saying they are 600 when it's more like 150. This is perfect, and I love they put a proper size handle on it. Treat yourself

As with all music nomad gear - you get what you pay for - in a good way!Feels great in the hand and safe edges are way safer than other well known brands.It's a bit thicker than my previous files, so that takes a bit of getting used to, but the results are superb!Highly recommended

Great quality. Quickly and effortlessly dresses nickel and stainless steel frets.

Very good file, 2 safe edges, Diamond coated. Used on stainless steel frets and did a good job. Can't say how long they last, only used it once so far, fingers crossed, it will last a long time.

As described. Good little tool for any guitarist.

I purchased this dressing file to finish my frets (round them out) after a fret sprout job with MusicNomad's b-file. It was the first time I used such a file but the online videos from MusicNomad and others make it pretty easy to understand. With a little practice it gets better. It did what I wanted it to do very easily and without much pressure at all. The file only needs a light touch since the diamond coating really digs through the metal of the frets with very little effort. The handle is ergonomically designed to make the job easy and it won't slip in your hands. I was hesitating between this one and the StewMac's. Both are comparatively priced. Since I like MusicNomad's products so much, I decided to take a chance on this one as well. It's the first time I work with a diamond coated file, I don't know how long it's supposed to last compared to a conventional file that can last forever. I hope it lasts for many other jobs. As far as how good it works, I have absolutely no complaints. The diamond coating rounds the metal of the fret bevels with remarkable ease.

I purchased this for a few guitars that I have with sharp-ish frets. I am not a great player; as a matter of fact i'm a beginner. But the "ouch" was these frets on these guitars. My kids have a few that I purchased as well. sub $500 guitars and all of them have sharp frets. So this tool did a great job in filing them down. Go slow. contour your tool a bit so that you can "shape" the fret ends so you aren't giving it a bevel but a nice rounded cap - if that makes sense.The tool itself is made very well. I am a stickler for high quality tools (Whia, Wera, Milwaukee, Vessel, etc.,) and this Music Nomal dressing file is wonderful. I would only like to see a contact in color on the non cutting edge. This way you don't make the rookie mistake as I did by going too fast and not focusing on what it was that I was doing. I rotated the file a few times by mistake and thus dug a slight bit into my fretboard - Granted it was a cheap Jackson Dinky guitar; the point is that you need to go slow. Being visually impaired I decided to alleviate that future mistake by using a black (or blue) Sharpie marker on the smooth ends of the file (not the diamond coated cutting edges). That way when I see the black (or blue or red, etc.) that the color is showing - go. The color won't cut. Yes there is an arrow on the handle, but that's harder to see then the cutting/shiny surfaces- Anyway a great tool. I don't think i'll use it more then once; unless I buy another guitar that wasn't built well. Oh and be sure to cover your pickups - they are magnetic and guess what else is? The filings from the frets....

De très bonne qualité

Excelente lima para eliminar los filos de los trastes con la zona segura para no dañar el acabado del diapasón, recomiendo usar optovisor para ver mas a detalle el acabado y eliminar por completo el filo

Ein gutes Werkzeug, das man zwar selten braucht aber wenn, dann ist es gut das richtige Tool zu besitzen. Allerdings muss man anmerken, dass der Preis wohl dem Nischenmarkt geschuldet ist und man kann überlegen, ob eine "normale" Feile für gelegentliche Anwendung nicht auch reichen würde.
