I bought the cheapest kit I could find on eBay - let's see if this was a good idea

That last post from Simon about filing the nut is spot on. (and with illustrations as well!!! )
The "sloping nut" method is the way I do it too.

I think anybody new to nut work (or even experienced ones) should copy & paste that one in the their reference materials folder! (everyone has one of those, right?)

I use OneNote and just cut and paste from here. It makes it much easier to find critical information compared to searching the forum. Also makes it easy to keep things in categories like "intonation", "bridge placement", "nut", "sanding".

Definitely recommended.
