TTcustom Report post Posted May 5, 2010 I used the Tandy border tool to get nice even lines but when my second one broke just like the first I had to do something. I have nothing against plastics but there are somethings that need to be made out of metal. I didn't throw away the whole Tandy tool because the plastic part that slides is fine. I sprayed the aluminum with clear poly after machining. Tandy border tool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had that thing for 5 years and have never used it as NONE of my blades fit. They are too thick or too narrow! pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are too thick or too narrow! pete Pete here are the pictures I promised you. I use a standard swivel knife blade that I got from tandy and it fits in the tool just perfectly. Some of the wide blades or angled blades might not work and some of the high end ones probably don't fit either. I checked to see if the ceramic blade would fit and it did but I don't think I would want to use that in this tool. Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
