I wish I'd found this video before I attempted to cut my last strap. Thank you very much for the excellent tip!

[@iainmcculloch5807]

Late to the video, but I took a slightly different approach with mine. I modified my strap-cutter using a disc cut from a leather offcut, rather than sandpaper. It grips really well.

thank you so much! Comments like that mean a lot.

All you have to do is tighten the head bolt with a pair of needle nose. I would use leather not sandpaper.

My problem is setting the gap for the leather thickness properly. Any tip videos on that?

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, nice idea, I use a piece of rubber drawer liner, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@MichaelMaysLeatherworks]

Wow that is a good idea also! Thank you for sharing that! God’s blessings to you as well.

[@chairmankim9628]

I tried this but took it off because the sandpaper was destroying the blade holder.

[@invictusbp1prop143]

I was going to make a 10-15 min video on the same subject but instead just decided to tell people to stick a piece of sand paper on the little disk that tightens down in the width adjustment.

[@MichaelMaysLeatherworks]

too bad i’m sure your video would have been great. Thanks for watching & for your comment.

I don’t sell these items. You can order a strap cutter from Amazon, Tandy Leather, Weaver Leather, or any retailer that sells leather tools. Price can range from $15 -$500.00 USD depending on what style of cutter you get, what brand, etc.

A ten minute video to say : "Put sandpaper on the clamp head"

Yeah ! You are Welcome 🙏
