Fret press caul.

How I wish I'd bought one of these years ago. Put it in my press drill: professional results!! And fret dressing is now a breeze, with no annoying "dinks" in the bead where the edge of the hammer caught it. I'm delighted.

Great Tool!!!!!

I am sooo pleased with this outfit!! It has worked great for me. Only one small problem, the 16" caul is a little on the thin side and tends to lean a little when pressure is applied, but not a major problem. I'd recommend this to anyone getting into fret work!!

To a man with a hammer...

My first three necks had hammered in frets. It took a long time to hammer them in, then it took me a long time to file the frets even.

This went right into my drill press, pressed them in quickly, VERY little filing afterwards.

Never going back to hammering...

Great improvement over hammering frets

I use it with a drill-press and get great results. Most helpful for bolt-on necks! I saved some money buying just the caul since I was also buying a "Jaws" and can use the brass inserts that comes with it.

I use mine in my drill press and can't tell you how much time and aggravation this tool saves me. Perfectly pressed frets every time!!

What's a hammer?

After years of cave-manning it we discovered this bad boy. We use it daily in the shop.
