Members Thornton Posted March 6, 2017 Members Report Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Bikermutt, I'm sure you have figured this out but the screws on the front and left side will remove the slop. Edited March 6, 2017 by Thornton Quote

Actually, I haven't played with it very much. Seems like they would. It will set line 20 snaps just fine, though. Funny I bought the line 20 die set and I have to use the hand setter anvil for the dome caps. If I use the press anvil the cap gets so stuck in the die I have to destroy the snap to get it out. Thanks Tandy. I'm sure some dremel work would fix it, but Dangit. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Studio-N Posted March 6, 2017 Members Report Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) a friend of mine in Houston makes these which also has good application on an arbor press. https://www.etsy.com/listing/399184025/arbor-press-round-pressor-foot?ref=shop_home_active_1 Edited March 7, 2017 by northmount Replaced link Quote "Out of my mind.....back in 5 minutes"
Members strathmoredesigns Posted March 6, 2017 Members Report Posted March 6, 2017 I was interested in getting one of those feet. Do you have to do any major modification to attach it? At this point I'm more thinking of it as a tool to help with stamping than setting snaps and rivets and such. Quote
Members Brianm77 Posted March 6, 2017 Members Report Posted March 6, 2017 Here is one of the projects that kinda got me into leatherwork. The name and number are done with letters from a printing press in an arbor press. Quote

Members Mattsbagger Posted March 7, 2017 Members Report Posted March 7, 2017 I am waiting for a burnisher for my drill press from same shop. I will do a quick review when I get it and have a chance to run it a bit. Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted March 8, 2017 Members Report Posted March 8, 2017 I got my burnisher last night. Seems very solid. And good workmanship. Tried out on a few pieces and seems to work nice. I'm running it on a HF drill press at slowest speed. Will update if I have any issues. Quote
