As used at the Martin guitar factory

Toothing Iron

Our Toothing Iron is designed to add a little roughness, or "tooth," to ebony and rosewood gluing surfaces for better adhesion. It was inspired by the tool used at the Martin guitar factory to prepare bridges for gluing. Its tight parallel grooves give it the appearance of a flat file, but it works differently — the end of the tool does the work. It's made of highly durable tool steel, and you can simply grind the end flat again when the exposed "teeth" become rounded. Our Toothing Iron is 8-1/2" long, available in two widths, and is great for preparing bridges, fretboards, overlays and more. Useful for removing old dried glue, too.

Sold individually or SAVE when you buy the set of both toothing irons.
