frets Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm doing a couple builds with bound fretboards. This is something I've never done before, so I don't have a pair of fret nippers. I'd just order one, but I'd like to do it sooner than later, and don't really feel like waiting a couple weeks for shipping. I've seen people set up jigs for their dremels to do the same thing. So I was wondering what kind of jigs or other tools you've created for the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntinDoug Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I always use a dremel after the tang nippers. If you have a dremel you can always use a small pair of nips ($2.49 at Harbor Freight: Link ) Then hit it with the dremel. It will take longer, but should work fine.

Do you just use the dremel freehand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
