Members cem Posted June 2, 2012 Members Report Posted June 2, 2012 I've got the one from Goods Japan as well and found this one is better quality than the Tandy one I got yesterday, I'd ordered just the replacement blade (doing a lot of sewing channels at the moment and wanted a spare) but it looks like the supplier was out of them and sent me the whole thing. In these photos the Tandy one is on the left, the Goods Japan one is branded Seiwa. After getting this one make sure you check the tip if you go for the Tandy one. Cheers, Clair Quote
Members Chavez Posted June 2, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks. I was looking at the hidecrafter's range and I was considering getting the scratch compass, but I've read that these compasses take a while to get used to and are not any better than regular adjustable groovers... I'll go for tandy or goods japan then=) Quote
Moderator Art Posted June 2, 2012 Moderator Report Posted June 2, 2012 I've noticed on the Tandy stuff that the placement of the hole in the groover is not good. Sometimes too high to bite at all and requires additional grinding. Goods Japan seems to be better. Art Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
