Bend or straighten on the same setup.

Set the thumbscrew. Feed the wire through. Roll out a length ready to seat in a radiused fretboard. Over-shoot the radius? Flip to the straightening side and walk it back. Same setup, no tools swapped, no allen keys.

Fits the wire you buy and the way you buy it.

The bearing collars seat standard luthier tang widths: Jescar, Dunlop, StewMac, Warmoth. No groove size to swap per batch. Roller spacing is a deliberate compromise: close enough to bend pre-cut single frets without the handle running out of travel, far enough apart to keep long lengths stable and stop them twisting off the rollers. Single frets, precut 2-foot lengths, full coils, all on the same setup. Run a 6-inch test piece each time you switch wire type. Gauge, alloy hardness, and crown width all shift where the thumbscrew needs to sit for a given radius. Once you've got the setting for a given batch, it holds.

Mount any way that fits your bench.

Two screw holes on the base for a permanent mount. Body wide enough to grip in any vise. Mount it to a bench, or run it handheld.
