Sources Of Lace Cutter/beveler

[rmr]

I am new to braiding and cutting lace- so I know very little about the topic. Im currently making a saddle for my daughter nad have gotten to the part where I need to lace the back halves of the skirts with kangeroo lace together.

What are sources for good quality lace cutters/bevelers?? So far the only 2 I have found are the Lace master and another one made by y-knot. Any recommendations would be appreciated - if these are the two best ones to choose from I would love to hear any input

Thanks RMR

I have a Hansen string cutter. It works well and has a small splitter attached for cheaper that most other cutters.

do you have a picture, and how much would you want for it?? Could you also tell me what angles it will bevel the lace at

Thank you

Hi Barbiesdude

I did find a picture of the Hansen cutter

I couldnt tell- are the blades replacable razer blades?? Or are they blades that you have to manually sharpen??

Thanks RMR

The Hansen cutter uses injector blades for the cutting and beveling. The splitter has blade you sharpen that looks kinda like a planner blade. You can find out about ordering one from http://www.hansenstringcutter.com/

Gordon Hayes (http://www.ghbitsofsilver.com/)

makes the cutter now that you will see in Gail Hought's book. He told me a really great price - not sure if its for all or not.

Hansen works ok, but the splitter is a pain because you have to reset the depth each time.

I bought one of the aforementioned cutters:

It was $250.

I have my Lace Master "Vaquero" for sale on eBay if anybody's interested:
