herdim peg hole reamersFor trimming and finishing pegholes. Made of high-speed steel (hardened to 62 RC), the cutting edge is abrasion resistant even under excessive use. Our Peghole Reamers come with 3 cutting edges only, which is best for achieving perfectly round holes. Together with our Peg Shapers they give you a precise fit of pegs and pegholes.
Taper pins are for setting ring-shaped peghole bushings and for smoothing the surfaces of the holes. Made of tool steel with precision-ground conical pin.

straight cutting edges are particularly sharp and guarantee perfectly round holes.
spiral cutting edges allow for previously unheard of cutting quality. The wood fibers are at an angle which makes these reamers completely chatter-free, ensuring perfectly round holes. This is especially important for old instruments with very hard medullary rays and sensitive peg-box walls. Polished rosewood handles.
Tin coating (titanium-nitride) provides a three-fold improvement in the reamer’s edge life, protects it from corrosion and reduces friction during use. By allowing a smoother and gentler cut, it also reduces the stress placed on the pegbox. The sharpness is not affected by the coating in any way.

“HERDIM” MULTI PEG SHAPER
The “HERDIM” MULTI is the most sophisticated peg shaper for professional restoration. By adjust-ment of diameter and taper pegs can be shaped to match given peghole sizes. Less or no trimming of the peghole saves working time and - even more important - saves the scroll substance. Also ideal for trimming peghole bushings and for his-torical instruments.
Separate adjustment nuts for taper and diameter. Machined in ultimate precision from aircraft alu-minum alloy, anodized. Razor-like one-way blades for a perfectly smooth surface. Satisfaction guar-anteed! Taper: 1/15 - 1/100.
The seven models we offer each feature a range of peghole sizes, allowing them to cover the whole range of peg sizes, from the smallest violin to the largest cello. The brass bodies are fitted with double-sided blades which display high cutting performance and excellent edge-holding properties. Resharpening of the blades is not recommended due to the differential hardening of the cutting edges. The soft plastic case provides a comfortable, non-slip grip. All peg shapers come with instructions for use and a key for adjusting the blade.
For Lute and Viola da Gamba. Length of the holes: 80 mm. Size (thick end): 11.3 / 14.5 mm. Weight: 600 g.

Japanese Knives (KogaTana delUxe)
Japanese cutters of fine quality laminated steel, easier to resharpen and less brittle than “Western” cutters. The blade is tempered to a hardness of 60° - 61° Rockwell and trimmed to a razor-like cutting edge. The beveling is either on both sides for versatile application or on one side only. The one-sided bevel should be preferred if extreme cutting precision is demanded (i.e. veneer of inlay work or marking cuts).
Kogatana come without handles. We recommend to wrap the blades with, according to Japanese habit, a leather strip or fix a slim wooden handle.
These are handforged by master Shozo Ikeuchi Lo in traditional style. By multiple folding of the steel a “woodgrain” pattern is achieved (“Damascus” steel) and the strength and durability of the blade is considerably improved.
Sabatier is one of the oldest manufacturers of knives and other high-performance cutting tools in France. The blades of these knives are made of XC 100 stainless surgical steel, hardened to approximately 62 RC, and come sharpened and ready to use. The tapered, polished Macassar ebony handles are securely held in place by brass rivets. Blade length 70 mm, overall length 180 mm, blade width approximately 24 mm.

animal glUes
Animal glues have been used by woodworkers for over 4,000 years. They are completely non-toxic, non-ageing, are easily reversible by heat and therefore ideal for repair work. The use of these glues is relatively uncomplicat-ed. The most important criterion is an even, controlled heating process and the maintenance of a defined temper-ature range (about 60˚ - 70˚ Centigrade or 140˚ to 158˚ Fahrenheit) which keeps the proteins from degenerating.

herdim precision rasps, handcUT
Rasps come in where shaping no longer follows the laws of plane geometry. Therefore, they are equally indispensable for the cabinet maker, the violin maker, model builder or stuccoist. The best rasps are still cut by hand. Each tooth is formed individually with ham-mer and chisel and no two teeth are exactly the same. It is precisely this slightly irregular tooth configuration that ensures the smooth removal of wood and avoids clogging of the rasp. You can use these tools not only for hard and soft wood but also for leather, plastic, plaster and soft metal. Hard carbon steel body, tempered tang. As they are handcrafted, the sizes of these rasps may vary slightly. cut 3=coarse, 4=medium, 5=fine, 10=extra fine.

Ulmia delUxe WorKBench
A good bench must be solid, have a smooth working surface and be fitted with vises capable of firmly holding pieces of all sizes. These requirements are wonderfully fulfilled by this workbench, made in Germany by ULMIA especially for our most demanding customers. Weighing in at 100 kilos, it provides unshakeable stability and optimal vibration control. The extra thick top is made of vibration dampening red beech that has been glued, sealed and ground absolutely flat - making it ideal for plan-ning and other large scale work. The front vise with double steel guide rods and the unique tail vise with a backlash-free mechanism work with the precision of a bank vault’s door. The round, rotating bench dogs allow irregularly shaped objects, such as musical instruments, to be clamped with ease. The torsion-free spindles with metal springs and full-length vise screws provide the highest possible stability.
Bench-top dimensions 1500 x 640 mm; overall dimensions 1600 x 820 mm; top thickness at bench dogs 120 mm, at center 65 mm; height 900 mm. Waxed surfaces, includes 4 bench dogs. Delivered unassembled, with instructions for easy assembly.

“herdim” assemBly clamps
Gluing the table to the ribs of stringed instruments is a delicate procedure because of the risk of pressure marks and edge chipping. HERDIM Assembly Clamps are designed to eliminate that danger. Their pads go over the ridge of the edge of the violin or cello and exert pressure exactly where it is needed - directly over the rib to avoid any damage to the edge. Because of the precise application the necessary clamp pressure can be considerably reduced, compared to conventional clamps. The material used is glue repelling, non-aging and elastic to avoid pres-sure marks. The pads are parallel pin guided in a mortice for fast closing action.

CELLO
Precision clamps for cello assembling and repair. Similar to violin version but, due to higher load requirements, the jaws of the cello clamps are made from fiber-reinforced plastic. Herein elastic pads are inserted for an ideal synthesis of strength and surface protection without adding to the weight. The rod is mantled by a silicon tube to protect the edges of the instrument.
