Make your own nut files, EASY.

An other option is to use your dremel and a set of feeler gouges

You can also round the bottom first before grinding the teeth.

That may even be better. How about a close up photo.

Can you post a photo close up of the feeler gauges ?

Its not my pic... I only have filed the gouges I needed. But it is very simple just make some cuts and it works fine on bone,plastic aluminum etc. If you think its cutting too slow make some more cuts. I filed mine with a triangular file (saw teeth)

That's all I've been using for years to cut the slots then I use a torch tip cleaner to round out the bottom of the slot. They can be had for around $6.00 at Harbor Freight.

Thanks to this post, I got the exact same tip cleaner, and it's a fantastic nut slotting tool
Now I need to find some saw blades, or I might just mod my feeler gauge as shown.

I got Dan Erlwine's "how to make your guitar play great" in the post yesterday, in the back are cardboard versions of stewmac's radius gauges

I didn't see the file being sold separately at Harbor Freight. Is this the same thing?
