Members Alexis Sofield Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 The Weaver will cut 14 ounce without a problem. It is an 8" strap cutter and comes with 7 blades and 1" spacers. Additional spacers can be purchased in several widths. You can add remove blades and cut as many or as few straps as you want. It is a hand crank machine...the more blades, the harder it is to turn. Although it has high & low torque handle positions. Yes, you need a straight edge to start the cuts. We use one in our shop every day. Great. Thanks for fast reply. Whats the method you use to get that first straight edge cut? Im using a long straight edge and running my leather knife or razor blade along the straight edge. However its inconsistent. i think I got a ridiculously stiff pc of leather. Its 13 oz and it feels like I'm trying to cut through concrete. Should I invest on getting a long cutting board to cut over? Would that help? Thanks Quote
Longview Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Alexis, We have a 4x8 table with a plastic (puckboard) top that we use for cutting sides. We use a aluminum straight edge and a razor (box cutter) blade to get a straight edge. It would be difficult with out the correct cutting surface! Quote

Members lws380 Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I got the Cobra strap cutter a few months ago and like it. Personally I like the power cutter option, rather than having to crank. Edited January 16, 2015 by lws380 Quote www.bearcreekholsters.com
Members awharnessshop Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 Hey Ian I have a hand crank splitter brand new all bolted up to my cut table. It's not a weaver but quality made in the USA. I have all the spacers and blades, never used it! Would consider selling it! And I'm south of Keene nh on rt 10. I'd consider selling it. -Andrew Quote
Members awharnessshop Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 Ian, I had it custom made by byler lesther machines, I just never use it! I waited 6-8 months to get it made! Quote
Members bigjimcowboy Posted October 15, 2016 Members Report Posted October 15, 2016 awharness did you ever sell your hand crank splitter Quote
Members ShoeMan Posted June 12, 2018 Members Report Posted June 12, 2018 How about a Randall Belt Cutter and Clicker owner is looking to separate these 2 items $1200 for both Thanks Quote
Members Darren Brosowski Posted June 14, 2018 Members Report Posted June 14, 2018 Not sure if Cowboy USA sells them but in Australia we sell a few of these bench mounted slitters with a 4" throat. As they are often used in the shoe industry they have a rotary glue press. Quote
Members CowBoyOUTLAW Posted June 15, 2018 Members Report Posted June 15, 2018 Darren, we do not have this mini strap cutting machine in USA, as they need 110V voltage. Quote
