Unless you are planning on doing numerous fret jobs, I'd suggest saving your money. This isn't an essential tool. It might be nice to have, if one does a lot of fret work.

I use a standard $10 mill file and, for finishing, standard sharpening stones - diamond or dry water or oil stones. It isn't so onerous a job to move a file (or stone) back and forth at a more or less constant angle. If you want the frets rounded on the ends, then you will change the angle anyway as you slide the file back and forth.
