Homemade fret slot cleaner tool

Post by TEETERFAN »

I recently fabricated a little, thin scraper to clean out of my fret slots. Some CA migrated in when I glued the binding on my fretboard (in hindsight, I should have protected the slots with paste wax or something before gluing). Anyway, I snapped off the tip of an Xacto knife #11 blade and ground it to shape with a diamond bit in my Dremel. It is kinda like a saw blade with only one tooth. It is working real well so I thought I would share.

Good little tool. I use a blade but never thought to grind it like that. I'll try it!
Thanks Kevin
