fookgub Posted May 3, 2009 Report Posted May 3, 2009 Just wondering what you guys are using to remove the fret tangs on SS wire. Do the tang nippers that Stewmac sells hold up? Is the LMI jig worthwhile (It seems like a lot of cash to plunk down)? Any other options? Quote
hooglebug Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 the first time i used the stewmac nippers was on stainless wire and it was the last time i used it too. i dont know if i was unlucky or not but the wire made a big dent in them and made them unuseable. i just file them off. time consuming but o well Quote
westhemann Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 I use the stewmac tang nippers....done about 6 sets of frets with it(stainless),and about 4 sets of regular Quote
Ilikes2shred Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 I made my own version of the LMI jig, and it works great. You shouldn't have too much trouble making one if you choose to. Quote
