Leather cutting jig updated

Great job putting that together!

A while ago, when Hobby Lobby still had 40% off coupons, I bought a Logan 450-1 mat cutter for straight cutting leather. I found that sometimes the veg-tan would slip when making long cuts. To fix that, I put some anti-slip tape under the straight edge. The tape was too wide, so I had to trim it to fit. Works good now.

If you have slippage problems, here's what I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MKG5BRF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Lil Doodler,

Yes I did have those problems initially so I decided to fix the aluminum track to the cutting board with bolts fastened from underneath through the top into Tee-nuts.

I also use threaded knobs to allow me to clamp the track down on top of the leather to prevent movement. I found that the aluminum is very smooth so it does not

leave impressions in the leather and the knobs keep everything fixed in place.

Although the anti-slip tape might be a good addition. Thank you
