Didn’t work how I expected.
I bought this since some of the other fret crowning files I have weren’t big enough for jumbo frets. Unfortunately this product just created gouges in the frets. Maybe I’m not using it properly? I’m newish to fret work. I ended up purchasing a z file instead and am getting much better results. I’m not sure if I can return this product but I haven’t tried. But shipping was fast and the file seems very good quality.
