Members Noah Posted August 1, 2008 Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 I am needing a used rein rounder reasonably priced. Thanks.
Contributing Member rdb Posted August 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 1, 2008 If you can't find the real thing, something like this might work for you: http://www.toolbarn.com/product/malco/FT195/ I used to do HVAC, and have this tool, I use it to round leather for straps. you may have to grind the edges to round them out.

Contributing Member rdb Posted August 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted August 1, 2008 Someone else left a comment here, but it seems to have disappeared. I don't know what happened to it. They said that Weavers had some rein rounders. I looked it up, and found on page 243 of their 2007 catalog, that they have two. One for 75 and one for 105. Web page Facebook
Members Noah Posted August 1, 2008 Author Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks RDB. I know about weavers but am hoping someone will have a used one they don't use anymore and pay abit less. Like everyone I have to watch my pennies.
Members greg gomersall Posted August 1, 2008 Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 I have a used C. S. Osborne 11 hole rounder for sale in good shape. The price may be over your budget as I want $150.00 for it. If you or anyone else is interested let me know. Somewhere before the crash we were discussing rounders, the general consensus from all involved was the weaver rounder is a piece of fecal matter. Greg
Members skip Posted August 1, 2008 Members Report Posted August 1, 2008 Watch eBay for them. I see them from time to time, depending on how many are bidding you might get a pretty good deal. good luck.
ArtS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Thats why I don't have one yet. I've watched ebay but the good ones always go for a lot. I haven't been able to sneak in and get one cheap yet. I also thought about using a flaring tool but they have ridges that would have to be filed smooth. ArtS Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 1, 2008 Moderator Report Posted August 1, 2008 Art, The problem I see with the modified flaring tools are that the step down from one size to the next is too much. I start with a big size go to the next smaller to round it in a little more, go to the next and so on. I have a 9 hole Osborne and it pretty well does what I want. Five years ago I paid about what Greg is selling his 11 hole for. If I wasn't in the middle of shop remodeling and fencing, I'd buy his rounder and his strap creaser.

ArtS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 If my two boys would move out I could afford both! LOL It would be a good trade off. I didn't know that was how you used them. I thought you just chose the size hole that you needed and just did the one. I learn something every day on this site!
