Fretz M-139 Tight Curve-Thin Fluting Stake

The Fretz M-139 Tight Curve-Thin Fluting Stake is one of three new M-100 series thin fluting stakes from Fretz Design, alongside the M-137 Large Curve and M-138 Medium Curve. Of the three, the M-139 carries the tightest curve. It allows a jeweler or metalsmith to flute very tight curves without resorting to pitch.

Features

• Tightest curve of the three new M-100 thin fluting stakes
• Suited to hammer chasing or bold chasing of flutes
• Pairs with the Fretz HMR-8 and HMR-9 hammers and the Fretz NH-1 to NH-5 hammers

Compatibility

As an M-100 series stake, like the Fretz M-130 Straight Fluting Stake (part 112.730), the M-139 fits the same stake holders:

• Fretz H-1 Miniature Stake Holder (112.600)
• Fretz H-1L Extended Reach Stake Holder (112.719)
• Fretz T-101 Double Ended Stake Holder (112.721), for more working room
• Fretz E-101 Extender Holder (112.726), for more working room

The T-101 and E-101 holders have larger tangs and need larger stake holders.

Notes

• Sold as the stake alone; the stake holder and wood block shown in the photo are not included
• Made in the United States
