If I'm going to be doing some fret-levelling work on my Chibson SG, I'll have to get one of these for myself, along with a fret-levelling sander and a couple of fret crowning files too, oh, and some fine grit sandpaper as well, Stewmac sell a set of Fret erasers, they're like pencil erasers but contain various grades of abrasive grit:

Don't waste your cash on the fret erasers Doc..
I got a set and they are tedious to use... You get great results with wet and dry, steel wool then a buff up with a little bit of brasso on a soft cloth. Just make sure you mask the fretboard up! Brasso is a biarch to get off if it gets on the board

My old method to level frets is.
1. After setting the neck straight, masking and textaing the frets sand with radius beam/ block.
2. Crown fretz
3. Polish fretz with 1000 then 2000 w&d and buff with 0000steel wool then brasso

My new method is
1. As above
2. Break out the Ginex (see pic) crown with 400 then 1000.
3. Polish with felt wheel on dremel
