Fret ends twisting while cutting tangs
Hey guys,
Sorry, this may be a dumb question. I'm cutting some new frets for this D-28 with a bound fretboard. Does anyone know of a good way to prevent the fret ends from twisting when cutting the tangs? They're stainless steel frets, not sure if that would matter. I'm using a fret tang nipper from StewMac. It seems like no matter how little material I try to bite off at a time, the tang nipper twists the fret, which leads to the ends seating poorly in the slot. I'm not really sure what I can do about it. Sorry again if this is something I should probably know. If anyone has any tips I appreciate it.
Incidentally....does anyone know if the little handheld fret presses are any good? I saw some on Ebay and was thinking of trying one, because I'd rather not just use a hammer to install frets but also I can't afford a large fret press at the moment.
Thanks!
