@rocknroller912 You answered a previous question around nut files but I couldn’t find it. Do you know what tolerance is generally acceptable for nut files, as in if I want a slot for an .008 gauge str...

Hi. Took a massive leap of faith yesterday and bent the side’s with near disastrous results. However after sleeping on it and revisiting the job today I’ve managed to tease them close enough for the n...
