I've used the same set for nearly 5 years that I got from ebay, they do they job and you get a nice round cut at the bottom of the nut.

The best way I found was to modify some 'feeler' gauges by cutting teeth into them. I rounded the edge of the blades with a belt sander first and it seemed to work well. My Aldi Dremel-a-like made a good job of cutting the teeth:
You can just about see that the teeth are radiussed here:
I kept the tip cleaning files for the thickest two strings as they were stiff enough to cut straight and I didn't have any feeler gauge blades thick enough, but you can get them.
These have made two nuts so far, but I have to say that if I'd known about the ebay nut files, I'd have gone for them instead.
