[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hi All[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I've got 1 of these still hanging about... offers?[/font]


[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Recently I was re-fretting a neck and made a fist of it until I made one of these tools. Now I'm able to make some more for any BCers who're wanting to make a good job of re-fretting.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thanks for looking[/font]

The radius is adjustable by using the wing-nut on the back of the 3rd roller.

Thanks for asking Fionn.

Is the fret wire just pulled through with bare hands?

[Grangur]

The better way is to push the wire though, in essence you're right. It's a simple, manual system.

It's simple to use and gets great results... type bump

Nice tool

[Grangur]

Thanks. It's simple, but effective. It doesn't have some of the calibration for precise bending to a set radius, but as long as the wire is bent slightly more than the curvature of the FB then the wire can be glued and tapped into place easy enough.
