it's used to file down guitar frets. (the bits of metal that the strings rest on to get the different notes)

Then I'd guess that either this (http://www.stewmac.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?client=45733905&action=SERVE&ITEM=catalog/ssc.html&4=%2BSSC_LINK%3DFret_Dressing,_Leveling_and_Polishing&5=%2Bsort%3D1) or this (http://www.alliedlutherie.com/files.htm) would be of help to you. They're both american sites but I did find a couple of UK sites who were offering fret services.

HTH

Edit Failing that, I guess this (http://www.luthierssupplies.co.uk/) may help :)
