<p>Crossing files are a type of machinist’s file that are used for shaping concave surfaces. Crossing files have two rounded faces, one shallower than the other. This makes for a cross section that resembles a pointed oval. As the curves on both sides of a crossing file are slightly different shapes, it can file concave surfaces of different depths. Their pointed edges allow them to shape inside tight areas in watch hands and gears. This process, known as ‘crossing out’, is where the file earned its name. Crossing files are tapered in width and thickness to allow them to file in tight spaces. They are double cut on all faces.</p> <p>CORRADI has one century of experience in manufacturing of hand tools for metal and wood working and it is the only Italian manufacturer of Precision Files.

<h2>counterform for violin, viola and cello</h2> <p>The counterform “La Stabile” is a classic of our production. Born over 20 years ago from an idea of ​​a Cremonese luthier, it was then redesigned and implemented over time following the many tips of the luthiers who use it. The basic idea of ​​this simple design is to keep the top or back of the violin tightly in the stops, without damaging the profile. Starting from this concept we have created a mechanics that pushes on the edges diagonally, and not sideways (like all other counterforms in the market) where the grain of the wood is fragile. Solid Finnish birch plywood and other simple but high-quality materials are ideal to ensure that this indispensable tool remains strong and stable over decades, especially for luthiers who use it daily.</p> <h3>Counter form in birch for stringed instruments</h3> <p><iframe width="250" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IQOg7u6L0xc" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>

<p>Synthetic Nagura stone. Ideal for sharpening stones with a grit of 400/1000/3000/8000 or lower.</p> <p>The Nagura is an optional stone that creates slurry on the sharpening stone. A Nagura ensures that the abrasive particles in the sharpening stone are released more easily and can also be used to give a coarser sharpening stone a finer finish. However, a Nagura not only produces slurry, it is also ideal for use after sharpening, as it is very good for cleaning the stone and removing metal particles that can stick to the sharpening stone and rust. Naniwa's synthetic Naguras are made from aluminium oxide.</p> <p>The stones should be briefly immersed in water before use, but not constantly stored in water.</p> <p>Generally suitable for all waterstones.</p> <p>Dimensions 62 x 33 x 20 mm</p> <p></p>

<h3>Our evaluation of Eau Japonaise - Popote 500ml</h3> <p>At Grandi Liutai, we have evaluated Eau Japonaise - Popote 500ml for cleaning varnishes and musical instruments in our lutherie workshops. We have found it to be a high-quality and highly effective product in removing glue and varnish residue from our instruments. </p> <p>Eau Japonaise - Popote 500ml is a colorless and odorless liquid that is easy to apply to the surface of instruments. Thanks to its gentle formula, it does not damage the varnish but rather cleans it deeply without leaving streaks or marks. </p> <p>Additionally, we have noticed that this product is equally effective in cleaning the instruments themselves, such as metal parts or strings of stringed instruments. Its ability to remove dirt and grease residue makes musical instruments easier to play and prolongs their lifespan. </p> <p>Finally, Grandi Liutai has greatly appreciated the practical and functional packaging of Eau Japonaise - Popote 500ml, which allows for easy dosing and precise application. The drip spout cap allowed us to apply the product evenly and controlled, avoiding waste or excess. </p> <p>In conclusion, our company can assert that Eau Japonaise - Popote 500ml is a high-quality product and highly recommended for cleaning varnishes and musical instruments.
