I wasted money ordering cheap files in the past that didn’t last through more than one nut filing job. Ordered these and have done a couple of major nut filings on bone and brass. The files stood up great and are still good to go on my next job. In the past it was hard to maintain my angle on the thinner slots, but not with these. Although the file is thin, it still has the required stiffness to keep the job going in the right direction. I would definitely buy these again but I doubt I will ever have to do more than replace one or two at a time in the distant future.

I’ve used these on several guitars now, and they hold up great, easy to use. I’ve also used them cutting non-binding slots in some bridges with great results.

These did a great job cutting the slots on a bone nut and notching a bridge. Nice quality.

Love these files. Have used on bone, plastic and tusq and they performed very well. No visible signs of wear yet. Take your time, take care of them, and they will get you great results time and again.

Really impressed with these. I like the diversity of the sizes that come in the pack as I own / tend for guitars with heavier gauges. Used them on a couple of guitars so far and the results have been really good – clean slots. I find the shape of the files easy to work with too. As another reviewer noted, they are thing but I had no problems using them. Recommend these if you’re looking for a good set.

What an absolute joy it is to use these files. I won’t reiterate all the good reports of other users; however, I can only emphasize the caution. Don’t waste your money on inferior products that can’t measure up for precise nut filing projects. Do it once, do it right!
