Among our most popular tools, these professional files help you get the job done quickly and correctly.</p><p><b>What files do I need?</b></p>Choose nut slotting files that are the same size or no more that a few thousands larger than your individual string gauges. A smaller file can also be rocked side-to-side to widen a slot to the desired size. For example, you can cut a .043" slot with a .042" file by moving it around a bit.</p><p><b>Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles</b></p><p>Nut slotting files work great for metal saddles. Choose your file size as you would when slotting a nut: use the same gauge as the string, or a few thousandths larger. After filing to the desired depth, we suggest polishing the slot with an abrasive cord to remove file marks and burrs.</p>
