Yep, the file is a very tight fit and needs to be fitted to the slot, but this is a good thing. The slot is cut slightly wider at the center and the file is used to file the ends to give the file a perfect fit, so it does not move around. The screws are not really needed at this point the file fits so good. Getting the file out is a bit tricky due to the tight fit, but if you know how to use tools this is a non-issue, or just leave it sticking out a few millimetres on one end to make it easier. The block and file work great and is a good investment for guitar tooling. Makes the job much, much faster.

In short (sarcastic):- uneven (imagine you only using this tool for guitar neck, so why bother?)- clamping screws are damaging the file surface (then again, if the wood is uneven, why even bother about damaged file?)- overpriced as hell (but that is "USA made in China" Nomad's normality)It is really sad that a luthier tool will come with such a low quality. I bought new ones from StewMac and some Portuguese company. They are evenly shaped (the radius is correct, and not changing every few centimeters), and the file holding crews are separated from the file by thin steel bars, so the file itself stays undamaged).

Love the way it cuts fret sprout. There's a 0 degree and 3 degree setting. Bit of masking tape down the sides use the 0 degree first, then the 3 degree after and you dont have to worry about filing each fret at the edge. Dont do what I did, whizz down the neck and it slip off and scratch the frets you've so lovingly levelled, crowned and partially polished. Slow and steady wins the race. Almost foolproof unless it's driven by a fool. I got there eventually.

I waited until I really used this before reviewing. Purchased because I was already pushing my guitar tool budget and needed to save some money, so I chose this over the more expensive StewMac file. I'm so happy with it!! the angles are perfect, the included file is sharp and quality, the slots are big enough to put any other file in too if you want. It's comfortable and very nice looking. Just great, I love it when the more affordable option over-delivers.

I have another like this, but this is superior. It's great that you can change the angle.
