Purfling cutter for violin makers

The purfling cutter is an indispensable tool for stringed instrument making. It is a special tool that is guided by hand and used to cut the purfling groove of a stringed instrument.

The purfing groove is a narrow channel that is located along the belly and back of the instrument.

This channel is needed to mark the position of the purfling and to provide it with a stable base.

Before using the purfling cutter, we recommend that to sharpen the tips with a wetstone. This will give you an excellent line and cut.

The purfling cutter is designed to fit for all violin and cello makers. However, this means that everyone has to adapt the purfling cutter to their own requirements. For this reason, the maximum distance between the blades was chosen to allow individual customisation. The distance can be reduced to the desired size by honing or grinding the sides.
