How does it work?
Asked by Anonymous on July 20th, 2018.
A nut file is a common luthier tool generally used for slotting nuts. There are many videos available online that can demonstrate how these function to help further your knowledge.

Greetings! Since these files are tapered, does the nut height have to be almost finished so the slots won't be too wide on top? Thanks for your time! Jim
Asked by henzly on May 14th, 2023.
That would be ideal, but in theory, the slots would get brought back to a normal width when the surface of the nut is taken down to the proper height.

Greetings again! Should I get these or the edge cut files! I want a round bottom in slot. Thanks again!! Jim
Asked by henzly on May 14th, 2023.
Both files cut a radiused bottom, so that alone wouldn't single one option out from the two.
Product Reviews
With these files, I was able to accurately file the guitar nut string slots for perfect string height at the first fret! Of course, I also had purchased the digital slotting nut gauge, which made it possible for me to file the nut slots accurately with confidence.
good response time.files worked perfect.
