    If I were you, I would wait until you can afford a better model.  There are so many options out there that if you don't need it, why get one form Tandy.  I'd look at an old Osborne or the like thats been refurbished.  You'll be much happier in the long run.  Brucejohnsontools.com usually has a great selection.

     

    yep.

    I agree with immiketoo 100%

    In case anyone was still wondering, I split it with no problem with Cobra. Do not recommend splitting thinner than 3 oz b/c shell is very impressionable and the bottom roller might leave horizontal marks if you split it too thin.

    Thanks for sharing scrapyarddog.

    Yes, sooner or later we all seem to get bitten by that bug.  What starts out as a means to an end (needing a specific machine or tool to do  job) eventually becomes an obsession to acquire an entire set of every style of vintage edger, or all of the stamping tools by a specific maker, or a complete line of obsolete stitchers of a particular brand, or one (or two or three) or every style of leather splitter, and on and on it goes.  But I always tell myself there are worse things I could be spending money on. 

    Well said, an healthy addiction even though it can lead to divorce... :lol:

    I get a line with my Craftool Pro edgers, also. The "heel" for want of a better term, is what leaves the line, unless I really lean the beveller over. With thin leathers, I have to put another piece of leather under it, or hold it on the edge of the table to the right amount of lean to avoid the line.

    yep, same here...
