re: nuts

I have an X-acto mini saw, about the size of a pocket comb, that has very fine teeth and is very thin. It was only about 5 or 6 bucks at a hobby store.
I found it to be perfect for fine adjusting nut slots. Go VERY SLOW, like one stroke at a time, and mind the angle of the saw blade. It was fine enough to do E and B-strings, and for the wider strings, you just have to move it back and forth slightly as you saw.
It's a lot cheaper than the saw and files sets people buy, and works quite well for small, fine cutting jobs like this.
