Frank Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Hopefully I can explain this without too much of a problem. The western style edgers just simply cut the sharp edge off the leather. The round edge edgers also cut the sharp edge off but when using the correct # edger, will cut the edge at a round (approx) 90 degrees per cut.. This will leave a round (approx.) 180 degree edge which in my opinion looks nicer and is a lot easier to burnish. If I didn't explain it too well, maybe someone else can chime in and do a better job of it. Frank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruce johnson Report post Posted May 28, 2011 Frank, You pretty well hit it. The round bottom edgers will cut a rounded profile. The blade edge is thin with a low bevel, and they do almost a "quarter round" profile. Sharpened up well, they run the easiest of any edge bevelers except for maybe a really good sharp bisonette. Most of the other lower priced edgers will make a square cut profile edge. The blades are flat top and/or bottom and the profile of the cut matches the profile of the blade edge. Also the ones with the edge in a slot, sacrifice one to see the cutting angle is 30-40 degrees inside on some of them. That is why they get pushy and chatter more. Also hard to work the inside to sharpen like some will tell you. Those slotted ones are easier to work off the bottom and just strop the slot. The round bottoms are the easiest to sharpen and maintain. You can take a round object like a nail or screwdriver shank depending on the radius you need and wrap it with wet/dry sandpaper, then work it on that. I strop the bottoms of mine on a leather edge with compound and the top with a felt wheel on my dremel on slow, Just a touch will do it. The round bottoms have the longest life also. As long as you maintain that profile, you can sharpen most of them back for 2" or a little more. Roundbottoms work great for trimming excess and leaving a nice rounded profile, like on a cantle binding or the sewn in lining reinforcements. If you keep the toes ground back as you sharpen them, they will do a tight radius in a slot also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
