They have them in sizes that match the strings diameter.
Would drill bits work for deepening the slots in a bone nut (not cutting from scratch, just deepening the existing slots), using them just like a file?
Did anyone try these before?

This question comes up regularly.
My method is explained in post #3 of this topic:

One of these days when I get around to it I'm going to pick up a set of the diamond slotting files from MusicNomad. Sweetwater carries all the sizes. I'm not in a hurry, as I've been using my alternative method for many years without any problem.
