If you have experience with applying the “U” tips to the
ends of spiral and spring steel bones you will understand the value
of this machine/tool. The bone tipping machine/tool applies “U”
tips neatly, securely and efficiently to both spring steel and spiral
steel bones and it can apply both sizes of tips! We began by calling
this a “machine” as it is more substantial than a hand tool,
but the term “machine” could be misinterpreted as meaning
that the process is automated, which it is not. It is a hand press machine
and requires power from a person. The terms “machine” and
“tool” are used interchangeably on all literature regarding
this item.
Designed with the costume shop and custom corset builder in mind these
tools (there are two to choose from) were created to simplify the process
of tipping bones so that anyone in your shop can do the job and do it
well. If you, or your staff, suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome or any
other disorder affecting the hands one of these machines is a must.
While both machines will tip two sizes of bones they do offer somewhat
different options and it is important to read all descriptions to best
decide the machine which will suit your purposes and your budget.

00-8650-SET
This complete set comes with an Arbor Press, Die Mount, Tipping
dies for 6mm (1/4”) bones and Tipping Dies for 10mm (7/16”)
bones.
NOTE: These dies were engineered
to tip OUR steels and we do not guarantee they will work with
steels sold by anyone else. Returns of this machine will NOT be
accepted. |
The bone tipping machine above performs two processes. It both CUTS
and TIPS your bones! The arbor press offers substantial strength and
this enables you to cut the bones you are working with before tipping
them. This involves two steps – one to cut the bones and one to
tip the bones and neither process requires much strength on the part
of the individual. A real asset to those producing large numbers of
corsets as it saves time – which lowers your cost, and it saves
your hands which is a long term investment.
Full Instructions are included with the machine.
The dies are sold separately for those of you who already have an
Arbor press. The dies have
been custom designed and engineered, they are not mass produced but
made by one individual, dies are the most expensive part of the product
and should be treated with care. Please follow all instructions that
accompany them.
