Love the way that press gives you feedback to know when the fret is seated perfectly

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

It is pretty sweet, as you will remember my friend

@hannuhanhi183 2 месяца назад

You are absolutely correct. I get so consistent results with a press that in most cases just a little of fret leveling is needed to some of the frets. The difference to hammering is huge.

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

you got that right my friend

Holy cow, Matt! The idea of using a stool top for a portable base is genius!! I wish I could attach a picture because I've already implemented this idea in my shop. Texas Toast for another win!

Thanks Matt!! Been waiting for this one, I wasn't sure I could drill the holes accurately, going to give it a go now. Thanks again!!

@MrAZed209 2 месяца назад

I'm 63 and my ol' man taught me how to pull engines and gear boxes apart and put them back together with nothing left to throw over the fence. He also taught me how to make things out of metal when you needed them. He asked me to drill a hole into a piece of metal for something he wanted to make. I asked him where it needed to go and he said "anywhere around here will be fine". We did the best with what we had at the time. My son however, he stresses when he goes a millimetre too much to one side. "It's outside the accepted tolerance!!!"

You certainly need to come up with standards and try to meet them the best you can

@hartshut 2 месяца назад

The wood dish is cool because you can add wood extensions on each side. That will support the neck or fretboard while you’re pressing frets close to the ends.

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

You sure can, we issue everyone a fret cradle as well just to make life easier

@scottakam 2 месяца назад

Thanks Matt. I definitely prefer the arbor press over a hammer. I don't do a ton of guitars or conical radius so, the Stew Mac attachment works fine for me.

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

As you know the StewMac press caul is totally good to go

@erichold1984 Месяц назад

Buy a drill index from Harbor Freight that has fractional , number and letter drills , they cost about $50 . Along with a tapping chart that tells you the correct bit for each tap , i have one on the wall over my bench . Always try to be precise or you will break off the tap in your workpiece .

@Cymbaline713 2 месяца назад

That part of the arbor press you're drilling into is called the "Ram".

@stewsim 2 месяца назад

Very cool if one desires an arbor fret press. However…if you’ve got a drill press, then just use the caul whirligig in it…?

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

Yeah man go nutz

@guythetechguy 2 месяца назад

A drill press is not designed to take that sort of force. It's a good way of ruining a good drill press. That said, if you have a massive industrial drill press - maybe.

@lorenzodenardo1860 2 месяца назад

That's what StewMac advertises. I tried that, and given that my drill press is a hobby grade, it has too much play to actually press and I went back to the hammer. Time for me to get an arbor press and do things properly.

@stevelaferney3579 2 месяца назад

Howdy Matt, nice job on the video. I too agree with you on pressing in frets although I haven’t done that yet. I went and (sucked) bought a hammer. My question for you has to do with refretting a neck (Squier Strat) and whether it will make the neck stiffer than originally? I keep hearing about this happening and I don’t want this to happen if possible. Any suggestions? Thinking of Jescar MedJumbo or 55095. Kind of 6105 like. Thanks for any help. Very kindly yours Steve

@TexasToastGuitars 2 месяца назад

Hi Steve, I don't think you will have any issues with your neck getting any stiffer or even any better if you refret it. On Fender style necks I like to level and re-crown until I can't anymore and then just buy a new neck. Having said that a Squire neck is a great platform to learn on and I highly recommend it

@stevelaferney3579 2 месяца назад

@@TexasToastGuitars Hi Matt, thanks loads. Hey I noticed a 1/2 ton press either on Amazon or I think it was Lowe’s that already had the holes drilled for everything for about $40. FYI Appreciate your getting back to me.
