More consistent fret installation!

Fret Press System

Pressing frets into place is a time-saving and accurate method widely used in guitar production. Our self-leveling steel fret press caul, fitted to our heavy-duty arbor press, brings this method to your shop. The arbor press is made of cast steel, with an adjustable steel pinion for firm pressure.
