When to choose it

Check the individual file sizes against the intended strings before choosing this set. Its six widths suit a particular range of electric gauges, so compare the largest slot with the string you actually use.

This set is for cutting or shaping a supported nut slot. Measure the starting clearance first and get the instrument checked if the required slot shape or depth is unclear.
