I had to deepen the fret slots. All were too shallow. This was the best way. I tried the LMI slotting machine and tried making a miter box. Free hand with this saw was best. I got this saw in 1985 when I worked at Charvel. It was the fret saw I used when fret slots had to be deepened. It was dull and they threw it out. It was good enough for me, so I took it home. For production, it is too dull, but for the one-off, it is fine. If you ever had a Charvel or Jackson from 1985-1986, then this actual saw might have worked on that guitar. I thought that interesting, the history right here. I didn't steal it mind you. It was garbage bound. It's Japanese and it cuts on the pull. It is narrower than the normal .023" cut. My guess, it's in the >.020" range. Not all Charvel and Jackson guitars needed deepening. In fact, it was rare to do so. The ones that did, I did them with this saw.
