flash515 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 For those who wish to resize a leather band and dont have a leather punch, I have a way of doing it to get good results. Take a piece of brass or aluminum tubing from a hobby shop of the appropriate size and make a cutter by filing the end so the circumference is sharp all the way around. Now put it in a dremel tool and use it like a drill bit. The sharp edge works like a circular knife and leaves a nice clean cut hole in the leather. DO NOT USE A REGULAR DRILL BIT AS IT CHEWS UP THE LEATHER AND LEAVES A RAGGED EDGE. And no I dont have any photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usil Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I have often wanted to do new hole but always screwed it up. This method is so simple. A rotary knife. Cool idea. Usil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
