Hi,

I want to make my own beveler / cutter.

(My brother is very skilled, so I think it will be no problem for him :) )

Hope you guys can help me figuring out wich one suites me best.

I found two wich attracks me most.

One is made by "Bevan", the other one I found is made by PJ.

I want to use the cutter-beveler only for braiding leather.

Hope you can some comment on both type's, pro's and cons.

I noticed on a picture I found, that beveling lace on the PJ beveler cutter is done with the flesh site down?

I have no experience at all, but don't you get a nicer cut when you turn it around, with the flesh side up?

Oh,

it would be nice to have some measurements/drawings?

Thanks,

Erik

I put this string cutter together with some old chrome tubing and other scrap metal that was laying around the garage. I wanted to test it as is before bothering with the angle cut for the bevel cutter. It seems to be working well so I am looking forward to when I get a chance to make that addition. I have never actually seen a real string cutter so have nothing to compare this version to.
