9 Brass Fret Press Inserts (6″, 7.25″, 9.5″, 10″, 12″, 14″, 16″, 20″, and Flat)

The set of 9 Brass Fret Press Inserts offers a comprehensive solution for fretwork on various fretboard radii. Each insert is 2-1/2″ wide and made of brass, providing durability and precision in fret installation.

These inserts are specifically designed to accommodate both radiused and flat fretboards, making them versatile and suitable for a wide range of instruments. Whether you’re working on a vintage-style 7.25″ radius or a flatter 20″ radius, these inserts have you covered.

One notable feature of these fret press inserts is the milled grooved bottom. This groove ensures that each caul remains properly centered on the fret, resulting in accurate and consistent fret seating. This precise alignment is crucial for achieving optimal playability and intonation.

In particular, the 6″ radius insert in the set serves an important purpose. It effectively holds down the fret ends during the gluing process, which is especially valuable for tight fretboard radii like the 7-1/4″ radius commonly found on Fender guitars. This feature helps secure the frets firmly in place, preventing any potential lifting or movement over time.
