How is an edge beveler used?
Our goal here is to transform 90 degree corners into 45 degree corners. This will make later burnishing easier. Position the leather to slightly overhang a table edge. Hold the cutting area of the beveler against the corner of the leather. It should be held so that it will cut the corner off at about a 45 degrees angle. The beveler is pushed along the edge. Try to cut the entire length of each side without raising the beveler for best results. Top • How is an edge slicker used? Position the edge to be burnished to slightly overhang a table edge. The groove in the edge slicker is positioned over the edge and rubbed back and forth briskly. The friction will smooth and round the edge. Top • Does Gum Tragacanth really work? Yes. We find that edges with Gum Tragacanth applied burnish better, much faster, and with a lot less effort. Top • Must I use a marble slab when stamping? No – any sufficiently hard smooth surface will work. We prefer a marble slab on top of a poundo board since that co
