Description:
The Hosco TL-FE1 Fret-End Dressing File is a specialized luthier tool for smoothing and shaping fret ends on ukuleles and mandolins. Its small R=1mm (0.04in) radius is optimized for narrow frets, while the pencil-like shape gives you exceptional control for delicate tasks. The 30 degree angled bottom allows the tool to sit flush against the fingerboard, reducing the risk of accidental wood damage while following the fret contour.
Featuring a single-cut concave top and single-cut sides, this file removes material efficiently for a clean finish. The bottom has no teeth to protect the fretboard surface during use. At 160mm (6.3in) overall, it is compact and easy to maneuver in tight spaces for professional maintenance.
