hidepounder Posted December 9, 2008 Report Posted December 9, 2008 I also use the Versa Groover. In addition I use Bob Douglas' free hand groovers, sizes #1 & #2. I also have a J. Watt groover that I have installed a Douglas blade in. I never sew anymore without grooving first. Quote
Members rickeyfro Posted December 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 Is the only place these are available direct from mr douglas? I see hidecrafter has discontinued them. Quote

Members savage_here Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 I don't want to hijack the thread, so if this is deemed a totally separate question I'll start a new topic. Has anyone ever offered a stitch groover that has some sort of plate attached to the tip that would make the groove a fixed depth? It seems that all I've seen and tried rely on a constant pressure and deft touch to make sure the groove is the same depth around the piece being worked on. Seems to me that some sort of plate integrated into the cutting tip would be perfect to make this a non-issue. Thoughts? Quote
Members Lippy Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 You can also find the Versa Groover at Sheridan Leather Outfitters (307-647-6679). They sell the whole line of Douglas tools. Cheers. Quote
Members greg gomersall Posted December 10, 2008 Members Report Posted December 10, 2008 The angle you hold the tool at is what determines the depth of the cut not the amount of downward pressure applied. Greg Quote
