Bicicouture Report post Posted November 30, 2014 Hi there! I am needing to bevel the edges of some 3/4 oz. Hermann Oak veg tan leather. I have a #2 edge beveler from Tandy that I have always used on 8/9 oz. leather but of course it doesn't work on the 3/4oz. I am looking into buying an edger or edge beveler and I was wondering what the best size would be to get. I have been looking at the Barry King Common Edger Size: 0. Would that be the correct size for the weight I am working with? Also, is there a difference between an edge beveler and an edger? I see that only edgers come in sizes below 2. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninety5percent Report post Posted December 1, 2014 I posted this on the other thread.... hope this helps. You can use the Tandy #2 edge beveler for that weight of leather. I think it's the most common used and that's the reason Tandy only sales that one. Here is a pic from the Al Stohlman leather craft tool book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used the #2 beveler for the 3/4 oz but I can only use it if I put the edge of the leather on top of a ruler or something similar to a ruler to raise it. I hope that makes sense. I don't really like having to raise the leather because it makes for a lot of room for error and it is also hard to go around rounded edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really like having to raise the leather because it makes for a lot of room for error and it is also hard to go around rounded edges. I have used both Tandy & Barry king tools for beveling. Definitely go with Barry King but with that being said I am always working with 2/3 oz. or 3/4 oz. and still have to raise the leather on something like a ruler just to bevel the edges.

King's X Report post Posted December 2, 2014 I use either a #00 or #0 Barry King edger for this size of leather. Barry King makes a pretty awesome tool for pretty much anyone's budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
