craftsman827 Report post Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I'm looking to purchase an old edge creaser tool. I'd like to know how they are sized ? Ex: #1 = how far between line & edge ? #3 = ?? Also how are the "double line" edge creasers sized ? Edited October 16, 2014 by craftsman827 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted October 16, 2014 This was more or less covered recently in another thread, although on a quick search I can't find it. (give a look, you may have better luck than I had). Somebody posted a sizing guide, however .. And I saved it ... So here 'tis, with thanks to whomever posted it originally!! Hope that helps Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Hayes Report post Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Pic was from my Gomph catalog, welcome. I use a #4 on my holster stuff. I think every maker varies for size and number. I'll add a picture of the double lined Gomph for ya. Strap was edged with #2 Gomph round bottom and creased with #4 Gomph. I had to "sharpen" the creaser a bit so it may vary from others, plus they are close to 100 years old so YMMV Jeremy Edited October 17, 2014 by J Hayes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted October 17, 2014 After a few hundred I think I have cracked the code or at least have some pretty good averages. On the regular single line creasers, the size number is +/- 1/32 of an inch. ie. a #2 is 2/32" and #5 is 5/32". This applies to Gomph, CS Osborne, and HF Osborne. The next size range up for Gomph is called "round edge creasers" and for the Osborne bros - "layer creasers". These start with a #1 being +/- 6/32" and each number up from there is approximately 1/32" additional. Double line creasers pretty much follow the size for the single line creasers. The distance between the edge guide and center line is that number in 32nds of an inch. The center line to the inside line usually follows that rule pretty closely, although some maybe be a bit narrower. There is a bit of variation between some individual tools due to manufacturing or wear, but these are pretty good rules of thumb I have found. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
