Worked great - no damage to side of fretboard. Good weight for smooth movement up and down fretboard. I was even able to use it with strings on. Good value, ease of use and quality. If you own several guitars, a must have in the toolbox👍. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool for cleaning up fret sprout *by on Reviewed in the United States May 1, 2024* This MusicNomad fret beveling tool is really handy. Changes in weather, wood shrinkage, etc can cause your frets to poke you in the hand as you play. You could take your guitars to your local tech once or more times per year and pay them for the work. You can, however, buy this tool and learn to do the work yourself.MusicNomad has short informational YouTube videos that explain the process. It's not difficult, just take your time. Yes, there are similar tools, but not like this. This beveler has a radiused surface that conforms to the guitar neck better than a flat-bottomed bevel tool. The file angles were chosen to create optimum playability.I'm happy with my purchase and happy about the progress that I have made in maintaining my own guitar frets. Save money by perfecting a new skill every guitarist can have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost foolproof *by on Reviewed in the United States May 3, 2024* I have used this on 3 guitar necks and it beveled my fret ends perfectly while keeping the edge of my fretboard pristine. The file can be installed at a 45 or 90 degree. The attractive, comfortable in your hand and very clearly well made. Good value for the money and very easy to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - MusicNomad MN831 Precision Fret Beveling File (B-File) - MusicNomad MN830 Diamond Coated E, Luthier & Tech Tool Guitar Fret End Dressing File - MusicNomad MN850 Diamond Coated, Safe Zone Guitar Fret Crowning File & Luthier Tool (S-File) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/552756348-precision-fret-beveling-file-b-file-mn831-fixes-fret-sprout](https://www.desertcart.us/products/552756348-precision-fret-beveling-file-b-file-mn831-fixes-fret-sprout) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
