<p>For sculpting tools and turning tools. Aluminium oxide abrasive.</p> <p>King/Sun Tiger</p> <p>Matsunaga is one of the largest manufacturers of sharpening stones in Japan. In the West, these stones are usually known as King stones or Sun Tiger stones. The stones of the King or Sun Tiger series have a relatively soft bond, which allows the abrasives to be continually exposed during use, making the stone highly effective. These stones are particularly suitable for extremely hard, low-alloy carbon steels (White and Blue Paper Steel). Before use, soak the stones in water for at least 15 minutes. They can also be stored in water permanently. Green silicon carbide abrasive is used for 180 grit. For all other grits aluminium oxideis used.</p> <p>Small stone size: 61 x 22 x 5 mm </p> <p>Large stone size: 100 x 50 x 10 mm</p> <p></p>

<p>Reasonably priced, light, robust and reliable: appropriate descriptions of Klemmsia clamps which have begun to make a name for themselves. You do not have the bother of trying to screw these clamps tight - the cam lever is all that is needed to exert the necessary pressure.

<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. The company, established in 1910 by the CORRADI brothers, is still owned by the same family and is now managed by the fourth and fifth generation. Thanks to continuous research and development, the company has always taken advantage of the best available technologies and the most advanced processes in the field of files. All the products are checked under strict parameters during all manufacturing steps. Furthermore, at the end of the process, each tool is individually tested. Highly qualified employees and in-depth know-how provide the customer always with the correct tool for his application.</p> <p></p>

<p>Japanese bar clamps are not designed to develop a lot of pressure, so they can be lightly constructed with eye-pleasing lines.

The delicate tools allow finely-fitted small and delicate work pieces to be clamped for fitting and glueing. The clamping depth is limited, so the workpiece normally lies directly on the polished bars, allowing precise clamping while making it less likely the piece will slip out of alignment.</p> <p>These delicate clamps allow finely-fitted small and delicate work pieces to be clamped for fitting and glueing.

<p>Copal can be considered a young form of amber, still in a phase of chemical and physical transformation (amberization). It can be distinguished from amber by its opacity and the presence of numerous insects and other small animals inside. Unlike amber, copal is soluble in substances such as ether or benzene and can be completely dissolved to recover the insects inside.</p> <p></p> <p>Copal is extracted from various parts of the world, including Sierra Leone, Benin, Cameroon, Congo, Angola, Zanzibar, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Philippines, and New Zealand. It is produced by various species of broadleaf plants and occasionally by conifers. For example, Madagascar's copal is produced by a legume still present on the island, Hymenaea verrucosa (copalier). South American copal is produced by various plants in the Burseraceae family, such as Icica icicariba (which produces Brazilian gold copal), Bursera microphylla and Bursera graveolens (which produce black copal), and Protium crassipetalum (which produces white copal). Colombia's copal is produced by another legume in the Santander Department. Finally, the Philippines and New Zealand's copal is produced by a conifer in the Araucariaceae family, Agathis dammara (locally known as Kauri).</p> <p></p> <p>Manila Copal Gum comes in resinous masses of varying sizes, with surfaces of more or less dark color and a melting point ranging from 103°C to 120°C. It is soluble in alcohol and insoluble in common solvents.</p> <p></p> <p>Manila Copal Gum is soluble in alcohol at a temperature above 94°. After pyrolysis, Manila gum produces a substance soluble in alcohol and allows only small amounts of oil to be added. A solution is obtained that, when mixed with other resins and varnishes, can be used to prepare adhesives, putties, wood varnishes, and as an antique finish for frames, furniture, etc.</p>

<p>Cold-rolled</p> <p>Made of spring steel</p> <p>Scraper Blades</p> <p>Scraper blades are indispensable for smoothing wooden surfaces, removing marks left by planing and routing, cleaning glued joints and levelling uneven varnish coats. Sharpened properly and burnished with a fine hook, they are capable of removing the finest shavings and leaving a smoother and more precise surface finish than can be attained by grinding. By varying the pressure, angle and curvature of the scraper, you can achieve superb results even against the grain (knotty wood, inlays, parquet etc.). We recommend using a fine-grain waterstone for finishing the cutting edge and a diamond stone or fine flat file for levelling and squaring the edge when necessary.</p> <p></p>

<p>Thanks to the use of<strong> stainless steel</strong>, this scraper blade is permanently protected against patches of rust caused by hand perspiration. It is also three times <strong>more durable than spring steel scrapers.</strong></p> <p>Hot-rolled - the entire material is elastic and has an even structure</p> <p>Made of stainless steel</p> <p>Precise 90° longitudinal edges without burr achieved by water jet cutting process</p> <p></p> <p>100 x 50 mm</p> <p>Herdim Scraper Blades</p> <p>Scraper is an important tool for <strong>violin maker</strong>, sometimes not receiving the consideration it deserves. Therefore we used scraper materials which feature better corrosion resistance of the cutting edge, and ideal proportion of the hardness and ductility to form a durable and finest cutting burr. The two materials cover all possible utilizations. Best cutting edge lies always along the longer side of the scraper blade.</p> <p>What is unique about the new <strong>Herdim scrapers?</strong></p> <p>Conventional carbon steel scrapers are usually made of cold-rolled carbon steel sheets. The combination of the carbon content and cold rolling creates the desired hardness of the scraper. However, this technology creates uneven hardness along the thickness of the sheet and produces a very different steel structure along versus across the rolling direction in the sheet.</p> <p>The Herdim scrapers are made of a hot-rolled sheet, which creates a more consistent structure of the steel with less differences along and across the rolling direction. The tempering used during the hardening procedure enhances ductility and thereby also the quality and fineness of the cutting burr.</p> <p></p> <p>The Herdim stainless steel scrapers utilize the unique feature of the austenitic structure of stainless steel - the high wear-resistance. The austenitic structure of stainless steel is, compared to the ferritic structure of carbon steel, much more wear-resistant. The less fine cutting burr is outweighed by its durability.</p>
