Matt S Report post Posted October 16, 2020 Has anyone tried Weaver's EZ edger on anything other than stiffer veg tans, specifically soft-medium temper chrome tan? I'm looking for something off-the-shelf that will take a consistent, neat smidgeon off the corners of multi-layer chrome tan dress and fashion belts prior to edge painting. Mostly backed with a fairly stiff chrome split but I'm using softer premium top layers and would like to be able to use a range of leathers with minimal tool changes. I'm having trouble getting a consistent and fast bevel with my normal/handheld edge shaves, even freshly stropped! I've seen Brian/@RockyAussie's ingenious automatic bevel sanding machine and while that would be great even the smallest version of that I can think of would take up too much room, and I'm trying to avoid airborne dust. The commercial offerings are very similar to Brian's contraption but come with a hefty pricetag! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cumberland Highpower Report post Posted February 28, 2021 I use those machines. I'd say they probably would work for you so long as your strap/belt is thick enough to support itself and you keep a sharp blade against the leather. I've edged chrome-oil leather sewn in layers but that's a bit firmer than some chrome you might be working? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
