45 degree edge cutter?

[MyOldHyde]

Anyone know of a commercial 45 degree edge cutter?... something that will accommodate more than straps?... or even an existing product you know of that might be modified to achieve the angle?  

Thanks...

I think rocky mountain leather supply sells a aluminum model edge cutter with a 12" length. It does a 45° & 60° bevel.

What thickness of leather, and do you need the bevel on straight or curved edges? I changed out some parts on a bottom feed bell skiver to create a beveled edge on 9-10 oz veg tanned leather. In the example below the angle is less than 45 deg. - probably 30+ deg - but I think I can get a steeper angle by adjusting the roller foot.

Depends on what exactly you want to cut; I bought a picture framers matte cutter. Its hand held and meant for cutting picture board to make mattes. They can be bought for about £/$10 - £/$20

Many thanks to all respondents!  Very helpful!  When I get the appropriate appliance, (and some practice!!) I'll share what I am making!
