Two Fret Levelling Tools with Diamond Files. 

150mm and 70mm Long Designed and Made By Chris Alsop in Derbyshire, UK.

This is a pair of fret levelling tools. Each tool has a diamond file with a permanently bonded oak handle. 

The tools are  designed to be guided along the fretboard with the file cutting a level onto the tops, or crown, of the frets. Fine Diamond files - which consist a coating of industrial diamonds embedded in a flat metal surface - give an extremely smooth finish and also have the advantage that  they cut equally well in any direction of travel. This allows a back and forth motion to concentrate the abrasion on a particular area and keep the file  always in contact with the fret, which helps achieve better accuracy of cut. 

These tools provide an efficient and easy to use solution to getting the frets level.

Dimensions
TOOL 1 •  70mm  File Length which is ideal for levelling frets over small sections of the fretboard, such as high spots on individual frets •  25mm   File Width •  Fine Grit File •  File flatness checked on a laboratory grade engineering surface plate. TOOL 2 •  150mm  File Length which is ideal for levelling frets over large sections of the fretboard •  20mm   File Width •  Fine Grit File •  File flatness checked on a laboratory grade engineering surface plate.
Features
•  Very comfortable to hold file. •  The file protrudes from the holder so you can see how the cut is progressing by looking directly down at the cutting face where it meets the fret ends. •  File and holder are joined by a strong glue bond. •  Robust construction from highest grade oak hardwood and professional quality diamond file. •  Suitable for Stainless Steel frets. •  All edges of the file are rounded so - providing the fretboard is protected - these files can be used along the edges of the flat top  ( as a result of levelling) of a fret and regain the peaked crown shape.
Using this Tool as a Fret Profiling/Crowning Tool
Diamond files produce a very smooth finish on the frets - this property makes these files suitable for any type of fret shaping. Once the frets are level the flat tops on the frets need reshaping to regain the peaked crown. These files have all sharp edges ground off so can be guided along the fret to reshape the crown. As always, before using any type of abrasive tools on a guitar it is recommended suitable masking is used to protect the fretboard wood and other parts of the guitar.
Wood Type, Diamond Files & Finishing Effort
We have used Oak for this product as it is a strong and versatile wood used in hand tool handles  for years. Diamond Files are really THE best surfaces developed by mankind for abrasion - the resulting surface is  by far the smoothest hand filed surface possible - hence less finishing and polishing!
