bridge recapping tools

[Bob Hull]

Terry,
The laminated is what I would prefer to use, however, isn't it quite difficult or impossible to obtain a clean notch using hand chisels on this material?

>I must dive in to my first treble bridge recapping job.  I have only done a bass bridge thus far and it was only beveled, not notched.   Maybe the difficulty of this job can be taken down a few notches if I get the best tools and wonder what you would recommend.

> I have looked at the Mazzaglia website and saw:
> Bridge pin tri-punches
> Massive chisels
> Bearing saw
> Bearing gauges
> Bearing lines
> Notch tool - for cutting and cleaning the sides of the notches
> Bridge capping washers - is this for putting pressure on the joint while gluing on the new cap?
> 
> Do you recommend PianoTek's bridge capping material or who else.

> I have read Bob Hohf's article on Bridge Recapping - not artilcle more like a book.  Is there another good writing on this ? - need something concise
