StewMac Gauged Nut Slotting Files

Ensure your strings seat properly in the nut without buzzing! Our tempered edge-cut nut files produce round-bottom slots for nuts and saddles. Each chrome-alloy steel file has twin 4 inch cutting edges. Among our most popular tools, these professional files help you get the job done quickly and correctly. What files do I need? 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 inch slot with a .042 inch file by moving it around a bit. Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles 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.
