Description
This is the fastest, easiest way I’ve found for shaping the top of a saddle. Originally designed and intended for use on vintage-style, glued-in “through” saddles, I find myself using this tool on modern drop in saddles (removed and clamped in a vice) as well. The carbide cutter head has three different shaping profiles: .105, .115 and .125. The tool is 10” long and has plenty of heft for added control.

The saddle shaper makes quick work of roughing out a non-compensated saddle top. It’s accurate, easy to use, and has a really nice feel in the hand. It’s a huge help when lowering a glued-in saddle. All in all an excellent tool, and one that sees heavy rotation in Folkway’s busy repair shop.

Wish I’d thought of this one! It’s exceptionally well made and works like a charm.
Got one a while ago and I use it really often for rounding over saddles “in-situ.” Today, I’m ordering two more for the shop at Gryphon.
