strap end cutter for press

[Treesner]

do you know of any strap end cutters with a V or English point that has a handle that is 3/8" round. I'd like to mount it in my grommet press to cut straps quicker with a jig instead of hammering 

this looks like it could possibly be 3/8" waiting on seller to let me know https://www.ebay.com/itm/324754875911

also if you know of any kind of base type of thing that the has 3/8 shaft that I could use in the bottom part of the press like this https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-6585/brass-anvil/pr_9197 let me know, I'll probably make something DIY though

You could always grind the handle down.

get with one of the die makers and see if they can make a strap end die with a 3/8" quick mount for the press.

I just remembered that I have these cutters. Belt tip shapes. There are ten, from about 15mm to 38mm. I've not used them but other cutters I have I use under the ram on my press

They cost about £10 a set, off ebay.

PS, I didn't buy these, they were sent to me in error instead of what I wanted

Is a grommet press going to have enough leverage to cut through the leather?

[Treesner]

these end cutters ate 5/16 they said, just under 3/8" so would probably work

Yep, could work as the design looks rigid so should concentrate the downward force. Pretty expensive, though.

slightly different from he wood ones, maybe since its narrower it would get into the thin stuff better
