Otto Frei assembled this kit with a value-first philosophy, sourcing high-quality tools from around the world while preserving Swiss-made precision where it matters most. Four Glardon-Vallorbe 6-inch hand files are included because there is simply no practical substitute for Swiss file quality. Several tools are shared with the Otto Frei Professional Metalsmithing Kit (138.500), including the Otto Frei Jewelry Makers Scale, Swiss-made saw blades, Vallorbe file handles, digital caliper, denim apron, and safety glasses. The primary cost savings come from Value Line hammers and other high-quality, lower-cost tool alternatives—all built to deliver years of reliable service at the workbench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValue-focused kit with good-quality tools sourced from around the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwiss-made Glardon-Vallorbe precision hand files included—five profiles across Cut 0 and Cut 2 grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlardon-Vallorbe 6-piece 14cm Cut 2 needle file set included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShares key tools with the Otto Frei Professional Metalsmithing Kit (138.500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValue Line hammer selection covers planishing, ball pein, chasing, riveting, and goldsmithing tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes forming and shaping essentials: dapping punch and block set, disk cutter set, horn anvil, bench block, bracelet mandrel, and ring mandrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawing station includes classic saw frame, Swiss saw blades with holder, multi-angle sawing jig, and jawing jig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasuring tools include digital caliper, wire gauge (8–34 gauge), and jewelry makers scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBench support tools include swivel bench vise, deluxe wood clamp, leather sandbag, and divider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety and workwear: 3M protective eyewear and blue denim apron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetalsmith reference book included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRawhide mallet is USA-made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstitutions on marked items will be of equal or greater value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112.303 – Horn Anvil European Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112.366 – Bench Block 4x4 \u003cem\u003e(substitution of equal or greater value may apply)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e121.095 – Stay Sharp Lubricant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125.107 – Dapping Punch \u0026amp; Block Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125.1790 – Disk Cutter Set of 10, 1\/8\" to 1-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e126.363 – Leather 7\" Round Sandbag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e126.462 – Handheld Sawing Jig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e126.512 – Multi-Angle Sawing Jig Cutter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e129.350 – 3M Protective Eyewear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLA2442-2 – Glardon-Vallorbe 6-Piece 14cm Cut 2 Needle File Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135.092 – 3\" Black Body Divider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135.185 – Digital Caliper Metric\/Inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135.511 – Otto Frei Jewelry Makers Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135.567 – Eurotool Wire Gauge (8–34 Gauge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e137.109 – Value Line Planishing Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e137.114 – Value Line 4 oz.
