pete Report post Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Looking at a few old Tandy books and the" Lucky 8 " Belt book in particular I have seen references to a tool that I would love to have. It was made by Tandy and it's an edge creaser with a twist. It has a sharpened blade that actually cuts the edge rather than just creasing it. I believe that is it called an edge cutter. The number escapes me but I think that it is an 8407 or something. Does ANYONE have one or know who makes it? I use dividers and swivel on my belt edges but this would be neat to have. pete Edited February 15, 2011 by pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted February 15, 2011 Pete, I have had some when I was getting yard sale sets. Those weren't much more than a glorified edge creaser with one side sort of sharpened. I have made a couple out of regular Osborne edge creasers. Some wet-dry sandpaper on the appropriate size nail will profile the center groove. Then sharpen the edges of the cutting leg but leave enough bevel to lay open the cut a little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
