@MonsterburstSG I believe using the 3" & 2" Fret Rockers will reveal any High Spots, therefore -Perhaps eliminating any reason to Use the Radius Block, there is a Special Small File Created by Stewart MacDonald-Google it-which will take down those little High Spots. And, as Far as That Radius Block goes, [if ever needed] a Crucial thing to remember, is to be ABSOLUTELY SURE to Keep it in a Straight Line Parallel to the Frets-one little shift from that, can throw off the Trueness of your Job!

I use 3M polishing compound and a buffer on an electric drill..plug in..because rechargable ones do not have enough torque.

I use a straight edge when I know the board is perfectly straight. I can put relief in the neck once it is under tension. But I know people who swear by both.
