FRET LEVELLING & FRET CROWNING ABRASIVE CHOICE
Emery is less aggressive than diamond - but has inherent polishing characteristics. It is acknowledged as the best abrasive for finishing and polishing of special metals by engineers and jewellery makers - which makes it a perfect choice for fret crowning and fret dressing!.
Dependant on fret wear, the abrasive included is sufficient for 4-6 fretting jobs, however as the emery becomes smoother with use, the abrasive should not be discarded too soon as it can be retained for lighter work.
2 options of Spare Fret Levelling Abrasive can be purchased from the Webstore:
Heavy Fret Wear: Coarse + Fine + Polish
Light Fret Wear: Fine + Polish
Spare Fret Crowning Abrasive is also available.
Please see Fret Levelling page, Fret Crowning page and String Action / Neck Relief pages for further information on these tools.
