Griffin Glass Tools 14mm Joint Reamer with Aluminum Handle
Item ID:
[GGT-GJR-14A]
Item Description:
Most skilled Flameworkers have been forming their own ground joints using a reamer and a waxed glass ground joint to finalize the tapered fitting. We designed this line of tools as a two part joint forming tool.
Manufacturer’s Instructions
Use the reamer to achieve 90 percent of the tapered fitting and the brass "plug" to finalize the shape. Both parts are the width and length of a (Lenz or our Indian) manufactured 10-1 ground joint. Joint forming tools should be waxed each time they are heated. For best results, slightly preheat the plug in the back game before using. Overheating the tools while forming the joint may cause the 2 parts to stick. If this occurs the plug has gotten too hot. These forming tools do take a little getting used to. We chose brass instead of graphite for this product for longevity and consistency of the formed joint shape after multiple uses.
Item’s Dimensions:
