You say edge beveler is matacantos, but what about a beveler stamp. I think that would be biselador?

Yes, I think beveler could be translated by "biselador", but bevel stamp = "conico (in the shape of a cone; con forma de cono), con forma de triangulo".

Beveled edge = borde (of a sheath), bisel en forma de v

How do you refer to different weights/thicknesses of leather in Spanish? In English, of course, we use ounces per square foot. I would have thought they would use grams per square meter, like paper, but when I found out that here in Peru leather is sold by the square foot (pie cuadrado), I began to doubt it. For instance, how would I say in Spanish "7-8 oz. tooling leather"?

We use for measurement leather the square foot, centimeters and milimeters.

square foot = pie cuadrado = 33 x 33 centimeters

1 inch (pulgada in spanish) = 2.54 centimeters

1 centimeter (cm) = 10 milimeters (mm)

For thickness we use milimeters:

1 inch = 25.4 mm = 2.54 cm

1 oz = 0.4 mm

7-8 oz = 2-3 mm

I advise you to look up a conversion board. I know that in any website about leather furniture you can get a conversion board in OZ, but I don´t remember that link, sorry. Here is not usual to sell leather at weight, I haven`t notice.

For instance, how would I say in Spanish "7-8 oz. tooling leather"?

Cuero de curtido vegetal de tres milimetros de espesor para, a) estampar troqueles? or repujar o tallar? Usually, we never say what the leather we are buying is used for (tooling, carving, casing...), we only buy the leather we think is better for our work in the store.

Sorry by my english, but I'm sure that in leatherworker.net there are a lot of members that could translate better than me the spanish to english but they don`t read or don't write in this post; translate english to spanish is more easy for me.
