Draw Gauge Questions

[David Lane]

I am a watch strap maker, and I am looking to buy a draw gauge to rough out the blank strips of leather before I make my straps. What recommendations do folks have as far as brand, material ect. I may start making belts soon, if there is a better tool for cutting strips, my ears are wide open. I'm not looking for an industrial machine, but I am open for suggestions. Links to websites and or brand names will be very helpful.

Thank you much, David-

Hi David, the wooden strap cutter works the best for me when i need to cut light weight leather. It uses injector razor blades. You can get one at any place that sells leather supplies.
