Yinfente Gitaar Viool Side Rib Buigen Ijzer Gitaar Gereedschap Bend Viool Sidewood Rib hout bend Tool Luthier Tool 220V

If you are planning on using this item to bend guitar sides, then ensure you're only making small body guitars, as the indicated 135mm length on the image is closer to 125. This thing is for violins and ukuleles. The seller has no contact details on their site, and the person at the other end of the email is so annoyingly obtuse they will frustrate you into ceasing communication. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER.

Size could be a bit bigger and have a clamping to the bench option.

This side bender works very well at half the price you would pay at a luthier supply store. I've been using it to bend mahogany, maple and rosewood guitar sides as well as ebony binding. The temperature settings are accurate and it holds heat really well. There are a nice array of curves on the heating element, but tight bends (such as in a small-bodied guitar cutaway) can take a bit of work because of the width of the unit. Note that the temperature controller is in Celsius, not Fahrenheit, and you can adjust the temperature high enough to melt the controller. How do I know this? Because I did it accidentally, and basically slagged it. The controller housing is plastic and it's just below the heating element. Even though there is insulation between the heating element and the base, the base is metal and will get too hot to touch barehanded, and the controller housing will melt if you overheat it. The seller was kind enough to send me a replacement controller unit for free. Definitely went above and beyond given that the mistake was mine. It took a while coming from China but that's on the post office - the seller sent it out the replacement the day after I informed him of the issue. I may install a wider spacing block between the heating element and the housing to help keep the new controller unit safe but so far it's been fine at 200C or less. The only other issue is that there's no automatic shut off, but you can plug it to a timer and make sure that you don't accidentally leave it on. This works really well at a bargain price.

Sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto, al momento l'ho usato 4/5 volte e non ho riscontrato difetti o problemi.

Muy satisfecho con el artículo, aparte de que llegó a tiempo me facilita el doblado de costillas del violín gracias a las curvas del metal.
