NUT SLOTTING SET
3-PART SET CONTENTS:
Tool #1 - Feathered Edge String Groove Marker
Tool #2 - Rhombus Diamond File
Tool #3 - Pointed Oval Diamond File
TOOL #1 - FEATHERED EDGE STRING GROOVE MARKER
The tool is designed for creating marking grooves for the string slots in conjunction with the spacing guides. The tool can also be used for producing slots for high trebles by canting left and right.
TOOL #2 - RHOMBUS DIAMOND FILE
The file can be used for intermediate strings. The profile is straight and cross-section is diamond making it useful for de-burring, chamfering edges and adding relief to the rear and sides of the string slots also.
TOOL #3 - POINTED OVAL DIAMOND FILE
The profile is tapered and cross section is oval. The tool can be used for the intermediate and bass string slots by canting the file left and right. Finishing each slot should be performed with attention to the best position along the file edge for the string gauge.
