JLS Flute French Bushing (Grommet) Setter


Enlarge Picture

A big title for a very simple and elegant tool. This tool will set your grommets in straight, and to a predetermined depth. One more way to get consistent results with tricky flute padding. The setter has a depth stop adjustment screw so you can adjust how deep you insert the grommet. In playing situations where you have to pull a pad to re-shim it, preset the stop before removing the pad. Then, when you reset the bushing, you will install it to the same previous depth. When doing fresh re-padding, set all your bushings to the same depth. This makes a more professional looking job, and compressing the pads an equal amount will get more predictable padding results.
