Rolled fretboard edge

I think you're right. Here's the Amazon wheel he posted a link to previously...not a "combi" wheel at all. Looks like he either confused links, or Amazon switched something along the way.

Yes, that is not what I recommend for rounding off frets!

Okay, I have an upcoming edge rounding job, and I'm going to try the flap technique this time. I looked through all my tool boxes...no combi-flap to be found. Time to buy one just for this job. Well they come in various grits, diameters, and brands. I'm pretty high on 3M products in general, but at $40 ea...

So, here's a couple links to some non-3M choices from Amazon. Assorted variety packs, individual wheels with choice of grits and diameters, and for a whole bunch less dineros than 3M. Good enough for rock 'n roll?...maybe. Might grab an assortment pack, we'll see.
