Music Nomad Diamond Coated Nut File

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

A necessary tool for luthiers, Music Nomad's diamond-coated nut files allow you to carve out slots for each string into a blank nut of any material.

Overview

WARNING: These files cut really well! Music Nomad's patent pending Nut Files feature a revolutionary diamond coating & round "string-shape" blade design resulting in smooth, precision cuts. They cut & polish slots at the same time & do not drift like common toothed files. The industrial, even diamond coating cuts all nut or saddle materials such as nylon, bone, graphite & even metals such as brass & zinc. Music Nomad added an ergonomic handle for total comfort & control of your cut, or you can remove the blade from the handle as an alternative cutting option. With 16 sizes to choose from starting with .010" up to .130", they work great for electric, acoustic & classical guitars & even 5 string basses. That's Music Nomad quality - raising the bar in equipment care.

I had never filed a nut before. I was building a partscaster and needed to learn lol. I wanted something decent quality but I didn't want to pay SM prices, and the stuff at the online shopping extravaganza named after a major rainforest is all cheap garbage. I have used other Music Nomad products and liked them so went for this set of files. They are built pretty well and they seem to have taken into account many of the shortcomings of some of the other cheaper files. The file part itself is only a couple inches long. That way it won't bend when you are using it causing too wide of a slot and also won't drift down and accidently cut the first fret. The housing is small enough to easily use but still have a good grip. They come with a nice little box to put them in as well. I don't know what someone who does this for a living would think of these, but for an average player who needs a decent set of nut files I think these fit the bill quite nicely.
