Having searched on the forums, there seems little information? Thanks in advance.

I have Chris's fret rounding file and it is excellent. I couldn't find nut slot files!

The files from Stewmac are excellent, they are also available from Madinter in Spain. The only problem is that since Brexit they won't take orders under a certain amount. 200€

Thanks for the responses. I too could not find any fret files on Chris Alsop's site. I have read about Stew Mac's and they sound ideal, but the extra cost of importing from the states makes them over priced. Madinter's 200€ spend rules them out also.
