Fretz® RF-Series Small Fluting Repoussé and Chasing Tool Set

Perform a wide range of hand-wrought metal shaping and forming tasks with this set of quality-made, hardened steel tools from Fretz® . This set includes four RF-series tools with a range of tip sizes designed for introducing small fluted forms into metal using embossing (chasing) techniques; ideal for fine and intricate jewelry designs. The shank of the tool is squared-off and matte-finished with a 90° twist at the end, providing a secure, slip-free grip while working. The tip of the tool is highly polished with a mirror finish to form without marring the metal surface. Fluting tools are designed to make straight and curved flutes in sheet metal, creating three-dimensional forms. Fluting tools can make smaller and more defined flutes than is possible with hammer fluting with stakes alone, and are also ideal for texturing metal surfaces. Created by expert metalsmith and tool designer Bill Fretz and manufactured for the professional jeweler, the Fretz® line of chasing tools supports your best work with excellent ergonomics and precisely ground and polished surfaces. Each is made from the finest materials for high-quality, repeatable results, maximum durability and long service life.
