Members Lucas Posted December 31, 2010 Members Report Posted December 31, 2010 A needle scaler with different bits adapted to it? Interesting concept I'm sure that some out there could use it to great effect, not sure if I'd be one of them. Quote
Members Spinner Posted December 31, 2010 Members Report Posted December 31, 2010 I can't see the video but wood carvers have had something that could easily be adapted for leather tools for years and works with dremels, bosch, etc. high speed tools: http://www.treelineusa.com/power-carving/reciprocating Quote Chris Three Mutts Customs Leather - http://www.threemuttscustoms.com
Members joquarter Posted December 31, 2010 Members Report Posted December 31, 2010 Nice idea , but I think you miss the fun of creating something with you 're own hands . Quote Greets jo-quarter www.e-leather.nl
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted January 1, 2011 Members Report Posted January 1, 2011 If it wasn't so bulky I could see this as an option for handicapped folks. If ya only have one arm it is kind of hard to do any hammering. I wouldn't say that it helped his work any. Looks like it pounded the snot out it. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members Spinner Posted January 1, 2011 Members Report Posted January 1, 2011 Finally got to see the video...and the price. $248?! WOW... $18 air saw from Harbor Freight $7 inline air flow regulator w/gauge $6 for drill bit to drill out the bit shaft of the saw $5 screwdriver to remove the safety cover from the top of the saw 30 minutes labor Think I'll stick with my maul....

electrathon Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 I think the trouble is that this is an inline saber saw. The stroke is so long on it that there is no way to do clean work. Even looking at the work he is demonstrating on his edges are irregular and distorted. If you are going to do something like this a palm nailer modified to hold a beveler would be far better. It has a very short stroke, so your tool would not be jumping back and forth almost an inch. http://www.harborfreight.com/compact-air-hand-nailer-99555.html Aaron Quote
mendedbowl Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 It might be useful for someone who does a lot of straight line beveling, maybe to replace a push beveler. I can't see it being very good for detail work. In the video it looked like he needed both hands to control it, and it still looked like it was all over the place. I'd like to hear somebody's opinion who has one. ken Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted January 2, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted January 2, 2011 Interesting idea but control would be a steep learning curve I think. For handicapped it would seem to be difficult to use. Could a modified foot treadle and an arbor press be utilized for better control in both placement and down pressure of the stamping tools? especially for someone that can use only one hand. Quote
BearMan Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Another thing to consider,, the noise factor. With the compressor going, & the noise from the "tool",,, that's a Lot of noise! If you live in an apartment,, I'm sure your neighgors would just Love you.
