I also agree with this advice, a good set of files would be nice, faster, and easier to work with, however they will not be more accurate.
You can make files out of feeler Gages.

The one above only costs $10.95, and has pretty much unlimited adjustments.
I agree about using the right tool for the job. This job needs something that will cut a slot in a nut that it precise and accurate. I would suggest there is not a set of files out there any more accurate than the feeler gage above.
A few minutes with a Dremel will make an extremely fine sawtooth pattern that will cut with ease.
