THE MAIN CUTTING TOOLS

HOW TO CUT LEATHER?
Leather is cut with a cutter or slicer, ideally on a cutting mat so as not to damage your work surface. To have a straight cut, the tool must be held at 90° to the leather. Do not hesitate to use your index and middle fingers to guide the cutting tool. The cutting can be done following a route using a square and a ruler or freehand for the more experienced. It is essential to change your blade regularly to keep your tool sharp.

ROTARY CUTTER ADJUSTABLE COMPASS CUTTER TRACHET THE ESSENTIAL & SHEATH
Cut leather precisely, very useful for rounded cuts. For cutting circles or rounded shapes with a diameter of 1 to 15 cm. Valuable tool for cutting leather. High strength steel blade.
