BESTNULE Leather Table Top Lace Cutter for Fringe Braiding Strip Belts and Laces (Come with 5 Blades)

I don't generally write reviews. This machine is fabulous! The standard razor knife blades fit! I just finished with seven knives and got accurate cuts. I have used needle-nosed pliers, just spanning the knife position, to start the cut. Be careful and pull evenly and you'll get great results.

I like the way it lets you cut thin strips from a wider strip of leather. It is a little awkward to set up the blades and they tend to drop out of the indentations made for the blades before the jig is tightened. It also has trouble keeping a straight line with softer / thinner leather, but I may need to tighten the hold down more to help with that. I tried it on a stiffer strip and it seems to cut well. Overall an inexpensive way to cut uniform strips from a wider piece of leather.

I assume this would work well with thicker leather, but rabbit skin was a bit too thin. When pulling at lighter pressure (with 5 blades set at 1/8" gaps to cut vertical strips), the pelt would tear horizontally. It's a well-built tool, quick shipping. I will keep it for future uses.(Edit, I also tried only using 2 blades and spreading them out to 1/4" gaps, same results.)

Did what it was supposed to do. 1/8 in the first position does not come out, but allowing for that the rest of the laces come out flawless

It was just what I needed

Takes a lot of time out of my day using this.

Difficult to put together. The design is such that the blades can easily slip out before you can get it all together. Doesn’t cut lighter weight leather well, and unless you keep a close watch how it is held, you will end up with wavy fringe strands. And, unlike hand cutting, it creates a mess of fine leather dust. So, beware where you chose to do your cutting and do not wear knit clothing or a sweater.

This item works great.
