What Lace Cutter Do You Recommend?

[UKRay]

I've been very disappointed with the quality of 'on the roll' lace and have decided to make my own. I have tried the Tandy lace cutting tool and eventually lost patience with it.

Can anyone suggest a good affordable lacemaker that delivers reliable results? I need the lace for high-end motorcycle seats so consistent lace quality is very important to me.

You're 100% right! Tandy lace is garbage!

If you're going to be doing High End Seats, I'd recommend using High End Lace. I use ONLY Kangaroo lace when doing the High End Seats...

RAY when i have to spend 7 1/2 hours lacing a belt like this i have to use the best lace.

now ,i do know that the Kangroo is the Best but there are other lace to buy.

Zack White sells a line of Top Quality lace. it states on the role....

PROUDLY MADE IN THE U S A. this is top quality calf lace.....

I bought a string cutter from Whitebuff (a member here). You can cut any width you want, and then dye it any color you'd like. I buy petite tooling calf, and make my own lace. Calf is not as strong as kangaroo, but it's still very nice lace.

Now if only I could get up the nerve to try cutting some rawhide string...

UK Ray,

With all due respect if is isn't roo it isn't the best! or the strongest. Kangaroo is the ONLY thing to use on high end bike seats. I do understand that it is a lot more expensive in some parts of the world

Hilly,

Kangaroo is available in a variety of colors, even metallic. I'm not sure of your type of work, but if it requires strength like bike seats roo is the only lace to use.

As far a what lace cutter to use.... for me..... NONE. I let the experts do the cutting I spend enough time on bike seat without making the lace myself.
