Spend less time filing fret ends! This is the best tool for trimming the ends off fretwire. A Stewart-MacDonald exclusive, our custom-made steel cutter has improved features you won't find on hardware store nippers. The jaws are specially hardened for fret work, and they're profiled and flush-ground to cut the wire close to the fretboard. The result is a cleaner cut without pulling the wire, so you'll need to do less filing.

I need a fret saw. Telecaster Guitar Forum
Precision cuts for braces, nut blanks and more! The finely-crafted, astonishingly thin .0075 inch alloy steel blade on this featherweight mini backsaw is just right for short close-tolerance cuts: making perfect joints for braces, trimming nut blanks, making crack repair cleats, violin work, and more. This precision is possible because, unlike Western saws, the traditional Japanese-cut teeth work on the pull stroke.
