Is this product good for cutting heavy duty leather?

I've only used it for quilting and it will cut through several thicknesses of cotton fabric. I just tried it on naugahyde ....not exactly heavy duty leather, but it cut right through it.

Not as far as i know, If your cutting steel i dont think its strong enough, on wood it might hold up ok.

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

I have not used this on leather; however, I think 1/8" thick piece might be at the limits as the edge of the blade as it lies perpendicular is maybe a 32nd over an eighth of an inch. I hope this helps.

This extreemly useful tool has a blade mounted in it with the cutting edge just a 1/16" shy of 1.5". While it works fine trimming knife sheaths with 3 or 4 layers of thick leather, I never have used it to trim anything close to 1/2 " The tool uses standard old fashoned double edged shaving blades for ease of replacement. I don't believe it would be useful to trim a 1.5" leather piece in one swipe. Good luck in your search. Joe from San Francisco

doubt it can cut it at all! More for fabric, cardboard, leather etc. Blade is similar to serrated not a saw type blade. try plywood blade on skill saw or a router or a band saw

It's very thick and heavy duty. I don't know what you would cut it with. I think even good shears would be inadequate.

Yes you can use this on leather very easily. Remember to avoid from excessive pressure for branding the leather. That prevents from burning a hole into the leather you want to use. Good luck and have fun.

I cut some hard Oak and it did a good job. For the the light duty it is intended for it should last a long time.

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

I don't think it is designed for that heavy duty use. Although the process will be tedious, I bet you can use it to shave your head.

I don't think I would use it on car leather, s soft cloth with a good leather cleaner would be a better choice. Even on a slow speed you could damage the leather.

I've used it on carpets, tile & rubber mats & never had any trouble with it but don't know about leather. It is an enzyme base solution so don't imagine it would hurt leather. Try it on a small spot that won't show first & see.

you can see a slight impression from where the serrated edge presses against the material but the cut is smooth. It shouldn't be a problem for leather.

Yes this will. I use these to cut leather. Of course you'll have to use shorter strokes to cut through it. And since my pieces that I make are smaller, I mostly use the 2 smaller knives.

Some of the tools could be used for leather work. Some of the tools have long skinny necks which would not make them good for leather, others are more stout. However, I think you would be better served with real leather working tools. They will last year's longer, and provide more function (based on personal experience). All you need is a good flat hardwood or marble surface, a rawhide hammer, an awl, a leather punch, leather stitching needles, artificial sinuous material, and your leather imprint tools. It's a larger initial investment, but you'll only buy once if you buy the right tools for leather. And you'll be much happier with the correct tools. I hope that answers your question.

It should work fine - we used it to make leather wrist bans for about 40 kids and it worked fine- very heavy duty
