PensacolaJim Report post Posted September 26, 2010 I want to cut circles with a 45 degree bevel. Do you have any solutions of how to do this? I was wondering if there was a tool guide to do this. Thank you Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hidepounder Report post Posted September 26, 2010 You could use a circle cutter to cut the leather out and then you could bevel the edges. For a perfect 45 degree bevel you would probably have to build a jig that holds a razor blade. You might be surprised also at how accurately you can cut a bevel with a good French Skiver if it's sharp. Hope this helps..... Bobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mendedbowl Report post Posted September 26, 2010 i can't help but wonder...are you cutting out circle holes in a project? or are you cutting out circle pieces like coasters? ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hidepounder Report post Posted September 27, 2010 So you're looking to have the bottom of the Koozie have a 45 degree bevel and the bottom of the sides that meet the bottom have a 45 degree bevel also so that you can sew them together. A French Skiver is definitely the tool I would use! Bobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
