Rock76 Report post Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Well, I've finally decided to upgrade from the Tandy edge beveler. I'm really leaning toward Jeremiah Watt's round edge beveler- http://www.ranch2arena.com/hsbtrndedger.html It looks a little different, and having never seen it in person I was wondering if it is used the same way as the ones from tandy?- http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/search/...w=Edge+Bevelers Thanks!

bruce johnson Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah, you push them just like a Tandy. Barry King and Ron Edmonds make similar ones too, and old ones were made by a few companies. Unlike the Tandy, these sharpen and strop very easily, will do pretty tight inside curves, won't chatter as much, and will cut a rounded corner rather than a flat bevel.

That's what I wanted to hear! Time to take the plunge. Best Regards, Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock76 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Ok, I'm getting ready to place an order for Jeremiah Watt's round edge beveler and I read that the sizing #'s don't always mesh up between manufacturers. Any idea what Jeremiah's approximate equivelant is to Tandy's #3? Thanks again. -Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Jeremiah's edgers tend to run larger by number than most anybody else's. I would figure that a #1 would be pretty equivalent. That is the size I use the most for general work. Other than skirts and doubled reins, I mostly use the 3 and 4 for trimming rather than straight edging.

I'll try the #1. Best Regards, Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
