TOOLS FOR FRETS
Of great popularity among manufacturers of musical instruments
in various countries
are special devices of SINTOMS intended for frets mounting:
- cutters
- tang nippers
- fret benders
Cutters
Cutters are used to cut slots in a fingerboard for mounting of
frets. The cutters make
slots straight, without chipping, cracks or fluffiness. As a
rule, the consumers of the
SINTOMS frets prefer to use the SINTOMS cutters to mount frets.
Cutters are made to standard sizes for different models of
frets:
- Cutter outer diameter: 80 mm
- Inner standard diameters: 25; 28; 30; 32; 40 mm
(Cutters of other inner diameters may be manufactured under
request)
- Tooth thickness: 0.43; 0.52 mm
(Cutters of other tooth thickness may be manufactured under
request)
- Cutter thickness: 1.8 mm
Cutters are
of high manufacturing accuracy (± 0.02 mm) and of increased
resistance
to wear. They are made of special tool steel and fit for
regrinding.
As to the
experience of the application of cutters at factories with 4 to
8 thousand
fretboard instruments monthly output, the cutters can operate
for a year without regrinding.
Cutters are
delivered in sets of 22 or 24 pieces. Also may be delivered by
one piece
or so.
Tang nippers
Tang nippers provide a very clean L-shape cut at the fret tang
butt-end.
Frets with suchwise nipped tang butt-ends provide for
opportunity of decorative filling
of the slots on a fingerboard (plastic lining fitted at the
edge, etc.)
Nippers are a versatile tool. They can be used for tangs of
frets of different models.
A significant
feature of nippers is that they can cut frets made of stainless
steel.
Fret bender
Fret bender is
applied to transform a straight fret length of factory delivery
into
an arc-shaped one.
Fret bender allows an adjustable radius of bend.
Fret bender provides for opportunity to bend frets of different
models with
various tang width.
