Members mrtreat32 Posted July 21, 2014 Members Report Posted July 21, 2014 Bought these on ebay this week. Haven't tried to restore any old tools in the past but I used a dremel with some red and green compound to clean them up which I later read is bad since the dremel creates heat that can damage tools. The creaser is a single line creaser which I have never used before and I actually prefer it to my newer Adjustable creaser since the impression it makes seems to be thinner which I like better on smaller work. With the single line creaser I have been running it along a ruler since there is no guide for the edge. Im assuming that is how they are used? The 2 edgers work but don't cut super smooth so Im gonna read some tutorials tonight and try to sharpen them up a bit more. Anyway here are a few pics. Quote
Members Mudruck Posted July 22, 2014 Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 Gorgeous tools! I imagine with a little work, you can get the edgers cutting just fine. Quote
Members simontuntelder Posted July 22, 2014 Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 The problem with most European/British edgers is that they'll never be as sharp as the American. Sad but true. However I think one of your edgers is double sided, so if you pull it/jerk it the iron will come out of the handle and reveal a secondary beveler. The single creasers are mostly used without a ruler or any type of guide. Just a steady hand and practice. Quote
