Free String Cutter

[bucksnort]

I bought this tool several years ago at a second hand store. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it wasn't much. I didn't have any use for it at the time, but just wanted to preserve all the work & thought someone put into it. I tried using it when I started braiding rawhide, but didn't like it as well as my drawguage. Seeing Peter T's tools on his post reminded me of it. Since I don't use it, I will send it to anyone who might have a use for it for the $5.00 cost of shipping it. The blade in it was made from some kind of saw blade. The way it is set up, you could use a razor or utility knife blade instead. Buck

That is a neat little lace cutter. I'm sure Mike will be happy with it after he gets it cleaned up .

It is a neat tool. Because of the extra bolts on the back part of it & a few other things that just don't need to be there unless they serve some purpose, I'm pretty sure it is capable of other things like beveling, but not sure. Maybe some of you more experienced braiders could give Mike some ideas. Buck

That's an intriguing tool. I wondered whether it has the capacity to bevel as well. Does the top bit spin around so that the other end, which looks like about a 45 degree angle, is next to the blade? pulling a string along that looks like it would give a 45 degree bevel.

The plate under the top bit looks like it might be able to move up and over towards the blade if the side wing nuts are loosened. That would change the angle of the bevel.

I really like seeing what sort of things people come up with to do a job. Thanks for posting the pictures, Buck. Have fun, Mike.
