Here's an idea I remember from 12(?) years ago but never tried. Guitar frets flatten with wear, and need to be restored to a small radius profile. (Same thing with capo bars.) It seems as though is would take the guess work out of forming a profile by hand when he plate is still in the piano and you can only view the surface being work, with a mirror. Anybody have any experience with these? Quite likely guitar frets are much softer than plate iron, but Stewart- MacDonald has diamond fret dressers. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Fretting_supplies/ Fretting_tools:_Fret_dressing,_polishing/Three-in-one_Fret_File.html Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G. wbps at vermontel.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
