Members superpacker Posted January 19, 2018 Members Report Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Wanting to obtained a subtle rounded edge on belt straps - and seems this is the tool to do so? My standard 2 seems to just give a hard 45 degree to any existing 90 degree where it seems that the Keen creates more of a rounded edge. If so, what size to do need for 8-9 or 9-10 oz? Looking for a barely rounded edge NOT an almost domed edge that takes lots of the grain side off Edited January 19, 2018 by superpacker Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 19, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted January 19, 2018 I use a regular edger, on both flesh and grain side edges then the edge becomes rounded when I work it with my slicker Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Members Carson Posted January 23, 2018 Members Report Posted January 23, 2018 I think that a number 3 would do you good for heavy leathers and 2 would be good for medium leathers (5-7 oz) and 1 good for light leathers (2-4) oz hope it helps Quote If you can live, thank god If you can read, thank a teacher If you can read this in English, thank a veteran May God Bless, Carson of C Hangin Diamond Leather and Catte Company

Members greygeist3191 Posted June 8, 2024 Members Report Posted June 8, 2024 I've had good results with the Jeremiah Watt/Horseshoe bevelers. For Belts I use a #2 front and back for standard 8-9oz. For thicker and gun belts I use a 2 on front and a 3 on the back. If you have a 3D printer you can print extra handles Quote
