Uo-Chikyu Guitar Fret End Beveling File

The Uo-Chikyu fret beveling file is an essential tool for finishing frets after installation or when reworking a neck. Beveling fret ends removes sharp edges and noticeably improves playing comfort. This is a standard operation in guitar making and repair.

In the workshop, the Uo-Chikyu fret beveling file helps produce a consistent angle along the entire neck. Unlike fixed-angle guides, this Uo-Chikyu fret file allows gradual work and direct control over each stroke. It is particularly suitable for restoration, setup and customization projects on electric and acoustic instruments.

This fretworking luthier's tool is designed to work close to the fingerboard without removing unnecessary material. The guitar fret beveling file fits naturally into the process after fret leveling and before polishing. The resulting guitar fret-end bevel makes playing more comfortable and helps prevent premature irritation of the fingers along the neck edges.

The guitar fret file can be used on maple, rosewood or ebony fingerboards, provided that the surface is protected with suitable tape. Its slim shape also makes it possible to work on narrow necks or closely spaced frets.

Selected for practical workshop use, the Uo-Chikyu fret beveling file is intended for both amateur luthiers and experienced DIY builders. This fretworking tool is reliable and durable, requires no complicated adjustment and is well suited to regular use.

To complete fret finishing, this guitar fret file can be paired with fret polishing rubbers available from LVSublim. Specialist lutherie resources can also help you explore fret-finishing techniques in greater depth.
