Wow...fret-levelling takes some guts...I had a flat bar of steel machined true, stuck some 320 sandpaper on it and went to town on a flat neck with marked frets. By the time the lowest fret was kissed I had removed not an insignificant amount of material from the others....gave me the willies.
I've got a crowning file coming this week from Australia.
Nice work. It is a little disconcerting the first time you level but don't worry. By the tim you've re-crowned you wont be abe to see the difference. It really is the most important step in a great set up.
cheers,
Gav.
