Beveling Internal Corners

[Zonker1972]

Hey Everyone,

I hope that someone can help. I am making a stamped leather picture matting (hollow square that goes around a picture inside the frame) for a picture from Sturgis this year. I did this before and had issue beveling the inside corner. I will be using a punch to make clean corners but would like the corner to be beveled like the straight runs of the matting. Anyone have any tips?

thanks,

Zonker

A wood router, with the leather clamped between boards. Probably more precisely a dremel router attachment with the point bit.

I quietly presume you already have one for edge-finishing. For anyone who doesn't, Proops Brothers on Etsy sell the polisher heads, and tons more.

I'm feeling in the dark here. Would a B997 beveler do the job?

you could use the same beveled cutter they do for the matting if you leather is thin enough. Possibly go to a framer and see if they will cut the bevels for you.
