Sevorg Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 There's reference made to plans for a fret bending jig on one of the threads, however, I can'y seem to locate it on the site. Can someone help me find the plans or if they have been taken off the site, can they please redo them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT these forums, which are 'the forum'. There are a bunch of tutorials on the site, including one for a fret bender under 'tools and tips'. Snoop around there.

unclej Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 if i could make a suggestion..unless you plan to do a lot of fret work or just want to make one for the hell of it spend twenty bucks and get a pair of the stewmac fret bending pliers. getting an exact radius isn't critical. all you want is more of a radius than that of your neck so that the ends will seat properly and not pop up when you seat the middle and they're very easy to use. i do a considerable amount of fret work in my shop and have always used the pliers with excellent results. just my two cents worth so feel free to ignore me completely.
