Members Schpacko Posted September 26, 2012 Members Report Posted September 26, 2012 Hi guys Currently i am using a normal edger from tandy for all kind of edges. Now i am having trouble when it comes to curves with very small radius. One of these corners i am talking about is the one highlighted on this picture: Looks like i need a new edger... Any tipps for me? Quote
Members Tina Posted September 26, 2012 Members Report Posted September 26, 2012 Have you had a look at BearMans slickers for the dremel? They should do the work for you :-) http://www.leatherburnishers.com/Burnishers-for-Dremel.html Quote

But the problem isn't the burnishing, the problem is the bevelling (removing the edge). Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted September 26, 2012 Moderator Report Posted September 26, 2012 Most bisonettes should follow that curve but some won't depending on the angle they are bent at. A turnback edger and a round bottom edger will do it. Quote
dirtclod Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 I use one Tandy's edgers to go around 3/8 to 1/2 holes and it works fine for me. The better edgers i have won't fit so i use the Tandy one. I think you need to pratice on some scrap because you be able to edge that no problem. Quote
Members Schpacko Posted September 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted September 27, 2012 Okay, so it seems that a bissonnette edger is the way to go. After a bit of research, i think Barry King will be my choice. Which one would you guys choose? The "Bissonnette Edger" or the "Sharp Curve Edger"? Also, are those (and also the normal edgers) easy to sharpen? Quote
mike59 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 The turn back edger will be your best bet, hands down. Quote
