The Music Nomad MN670 is a professional-grade six-piece nut slotting tool set tailored specifically for acoustic guitars using light to medium gauge string sets. This specialized workshop kit contains six individual files precisely dimensioned at .013, .017, .024, .032, .042, and .056 inches to align perfectly with standard acoustic setups. Developed to optimize string action, improve tuning stability, and eradicate critical string binding at the headstock, this system serves as an essential bench asset for luthier workshops, repair facilities, and advanced instrument builders performing precise slot adjustments on raw or pre-cut nuts and bridge saddles.
Unlike traditional V-shaped or crude toothed files that frequently drift or taper slots unevenly, these advanced lutherie files implement a specialized round, string-shape blade design. The rigid metal construction resists bending and deflection under downward pressure, facilitating laser-straight tracking through the center of the nut material. Every file edge features an industrial-grade, uniformly distributed diamond coating that cuts and polishes the slot wall simultaneously, leaving behind a perfectly radiused, smooth trench bottom that mirrors the exact profile of the instrument string.
The robust industrial diamond abrasive compound cuts smoothly through all common modern and vintage nut materials, including bone, TUSQ, graphite, nylon, and synthetic composites, as well as dense bridge saddle substrates. Each file assembly is equipped with a comfortable, detachable ergonomic handle that optimizes manual leverage and improves lateral stability on delicate strokes, though technicians can easily slide the blade out of the grip frame for direct close-up hand control. For storage and mobile bench operations, the entire custom collection is housed within a compact, heavy-duty aluminum case featuring clear laser-engraved dimensional markings on every tool body for rapid size identification.
