With the Wheelset Straightening Tool for Model Railway H0 Gauge from fohrmann.com, you achieve precise adjustment of the wheel spacing of your model locomotives and wagons. This special tool is indispensable if the gauge of your wheelsets has shifted, which often leads to derailments. Especially with used models or after maintenance work, a correction of the gauge may be necessary. The wheelset straightening tool allows you to precisely press the wheelsets together or pull them apart to restore the correct gauge.

Step-by-Step Guide to Gauge Correction
The application of the wheelset straightening tool is simple and effective. Follow these steps to precisely adjust the gauge of your wheelsets:
Selecting the Right Spindle Tip:
- Choose the appropriate spindle tip for the axle to be processed.
- For wagons with pointed-bearing axles, use the conical spindle tip. The cone protects the tip and prevents deformation.
- For locomotives and passenger cars with flat axles, use the flat spindle tip.
Reducing the Gauge:
- Insert the axle completely into the tool.
- Fix the wheel disc centrally with the selected spindle tip. Ensure that the axle is aligned with the spindle.
- Turn the cross handle clockwise. This applies pressure to the axle and reduces the gauge.
- Then open the tool by turning the cross handle counter-clockwise and remove the axle.
Widening the Gauge:
- Insert the axle into the tool so that it lies outside the actual clamping area.
- Ensure that the wheel disc lies flat and fix it centrally with the spindle tip.
- Turn the cross handle clockwise. This applies pressure to the wheel disc and increases the gauge.
- Open the tool again by turning the cross handle counter-clockwise and remove the axle.
