Members MyOldHyde Posted 21 hours ago Members Report Posted 21 hours ago 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... Quote
Members DieselTech Posted 20 hours ago Members Report Posted 20 hours ago I think rocky mountain leather supply sells a aluminum model edge cutter with a 12" length. It does a 45° & 60° bevel. Quote
Members TomE Posted 20 hours ago Members Report Posted 20 hours ago (edited) 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. Edited 20 hours ago by TomE Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted 19 hours ago Contributing Member Report Posted 19 hours ago 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 Like this Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
