The jaws are specially hardened for fret work, and they're profiled and flush-ground to cut the wire close to the fretboard. The result is a cleaner cut without pulling the wire, so you'll need to do less filing. Longer rubber-coated handles allow better access to the frets over a guitar body.

1" (25.4mm) jaw width, 8" (203.20mm) length.

Not recommended for use with stainless-steel fretwire.

Essential for fretting
The Fret Cutter is one of seven tools included in our Essential Fretting Tool Kit, a compilation of tools you'll need for the fundamentals of fret work. Kit also includes our book, Fretwork Step By Step by Erick Coleman with Dan Erlewine.

a superb fret cutter

Sharon teaches classes on building mountain dulcimers so she has students with a broad range of abilities. She loves the fret cutter we bought from you. It is easy to use and leaves a reasonable burr that can be filed easily. Many thanks for making this quality tool available. Joe & Sharon
