You've got to love the way he's precisely polishing the edges that are going to butt up against each other and be invisible... Sure you want to clean up burrs and file marks, but reason in all things.

Yeah, I didn't do that. I couldn't see an scratches when I put the tuners together, even though I only used the double-cut side of the flat file. I didn't have any serious burrs and polishing seemed like a lot of work with not much payoff. What did become clear is that the tuners are probably going to leave a mark in my heastock as they did on my jig...Originally Posted by JimC
...which, of course, no one will see on the finished product. I have decided that neither invisible problem bothers me enough to do something about it ;-)
