Just beginning my journey for an advanced guitar setups. I assure you that elmerguitar has fantastic quality at an outstanding price.
This is a great router base for a Dremel. It's far more stable than the plastic stuff Dremel supplies and less expensive than similar competitive units. It took a while to figure out why one side could be "angled" - I think it's so you can slightly undercut edges if needed, but I'm not absolutely sure and it's not explained....so I just keep it set at 90 degrees.
The one baffling thing is the small tube that extends from one leg. It's not shown anywhere on the directions or pictures - it's just "there". It's not in the way, but I still have no idea what it's for or which side it should be on so I just ignore it.
Even with the missing directions details it beats others hands down!
This tool is well built and does a good job of reducing nut height. It did a much more precise job than I would have done by hand.
This is a very nice fret bender!
Other luthier supply places have this unit for more $. Glad I caught this on sale.
Adjustments are easy once you get the hang of it and straightening is a simple operation. I will end up adding a 3rd bearing permanently in the straight position to make switching faster.
Happy Bending!
It didn't solve the issue. Not the fault of the product. The problem is with the trem itself which is a Hipshot. Worse trem I ever had. This is on my head less Keisel guitar. Will not return to pitch.
If you make your own saddles or nuts, this is the bomb. Do yourself a favor and pick one up.
I’ve only used it one time for a ukulele and the jig seems fine. It cut an even channel for the binding as well as more shallow channels for purfling. The jig moved up and down smoothly but had a worrisome amount of tilt and wiggle when the router first engaged the work. Other router jigs I have used displayed none of this. Is there a way to adjust the three rollers to eliminate this movement?
Quality product which is easy to use and a fair price. I use it with my drill press and it is great. I see a lot of people on boards and other places selling fret presses saying you need to use an arbor press to set the frets. How hard are people pressing these things in? You already have a drill press anyway right? Why not use it. Plenty of pressure to set a fret.
Good value at your price. I've seen it advertized for a lot more and held off buying till now. Happy with the quality.
Been looking for a good set of radius gauges for my guitar setups but didn't want to spend top dollar at Stew Mac. Didn't want the cheapy ones either from Amazon. Found these from Elmer that look exactly like the pricey set from Stew Mac at a fraction of the cost. Love em
I used to hammer frets all the time but it took too much work and the leveling was a hell but now it's easier,better and quitter with minimal leveling after, get one and u won't regret it.
I purchased the brass base only and used my own dial indicator. Works perfectly! I checked and corrected three guitars - a Telecaster, a D'Angelico archtop, and a Martin dreadnaught. All needed a bit of tweaking compared to the factory setup and now they all play noticeably better. What a great way to do a setup.
