Members TomG Posted June 8, 2014 Members Report Posted June 8, 2014 What thickness of leather are these intended for? I've been using them on 4 oz, but recently, I've been having problems with the male parts coming loose from the post. The post just doesn't seem to form properly inside the male piece. I messed around with some today and had to set it so hard it cut the leather on one edge. Any tips or advise?

Members papaw Posted June 8, 2014 Members Report Posted June 8, 2014 The 14 and 16 are for 6 oz max. as far as I know and I think some places are not going to stock the 14 before to long.

Members TomG Posted June 10, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 10, 2014 Hmm...are you referring to glove snaps or Segma's? I know Segmas come in those 2 sizes. These glove snaps are labeled as 10 mm I went by my local Tandy today to make sure I was using the right tools, which I am. The kit for the Segma's uses the same male snap setter for both. But I also have a deluxe set with a male setter that is a much longer and larger diameter. Same size hole though. I have an older set a friend gave me that has a plate with 2 holes on it. One for Segma and one for the glove. That worked much better. I still don't know why I am suddenly having issues after 2 years of using these for this item. Weird... But at least I have a work-around. Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
