Members aaron8771 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 I did that with the cardboard. Not 1 mark. But a very slow process. Quote

Finished up my three belts using the cardboard method. No marks but was a very S-L-O-W process. Good to hear! Thank you for sharing your solution. Great forum here, love the helpful responses. Quote
Members aaron8771 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 Great helpful responses...... Even though the topic has been discussed "at nauseum". Quote
Members RusticLeatherShop Posted August 15, 2018 Members Report Posted August 15, 2018 I have the Cowboy 4500 as well. When I tightened more than recommended (I believe normal is 3cm of sticking the turret from the machine) I got marks as well on softer dyed pig leather (4 oz). So if you screw out the black round adjuster a bit, the marks will not be present anymore. NO NEED TO GRIND SOMETHING. I would never grind something on such a expensive machine. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted August 16, 2018 Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 G'Day, I do something similar to wizcrafts , I use a large ' D' ring or ' O ' ring to rub out the foot marks. I could adjust the foot pressure more than I have, but I don't know how far I can adjust it, and I'm worried that the adjuster on the top of the machine will pop out and end up making a hole in my roof . I'll stick with the ' D' ring . ( my extra ' ad nauseum ' response ) HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members aaron8771 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 "D" or "O" ring. Got plenty of those. Thanks. Quote
