Bandsaw and leather

[Mike Sanfeliz]

Would it be possible to cut a leather gun holster (basically trim off the snaps) by using a bandsaw? or am I asking for trouble? If not, what would be a better solution?

[Charles Hans]

I would say yes IF you can get it flat to the table, if not then I would use an Exacto knife.

I've always used metal-cutting snips of various shapes for leather...unless you're talking about elephant hide, I can't see why you'd want to use a power saw.

[Mike Sanfeliz]

gee, I forgot about my snips. Thanks

A circular cutting blade, attached to a handle, is a great cutting tool for leather. - -it looks like a miniture pizza cutter but is sharp as a razor. Sewing stores have them. I have tried everything else and the results are never satisfactory.
