Stitching chisels do not vary as much in their blade size but rather in their spacing. The larger the spacing, the more distance between each stitch. Common sizes for stitching chisel spacing are 2mm–5mm. Variations

A simple punch and chisel collection is everything that would ever be needed for many individuals, including metal cutting chisels and a variety of punch heads. There are numerous machine options to choose from. Important factors to consider when selecting your machine are how heavy the fabric that will be sewn is and how robust the machine is. A robust and well-maintained machine can last for a very long time. Pattern and Letter stamps are metals tools used to imprint patterns or letters into leather. You place the end with the pattern on the leather surface, use a mallet or maul to strike the stamp to imprint the pattern onto the leather.

Neiko 02612A: The Most Powerful, Heavy-Duty Hole Puncher Tools Set With many different leather piercing tools available, I decided to look at some of the more uncommon ones. This got me more familiar with other tools and allowed me to pass on my findings on how they are used. Stitching WheelSteels with less carbon or no carbon are much harder to sharpen but will keep their sharpened edge much longer. The most expensive piercing tools will strive for balance by using higher-grade steel. Regardless of the type of steel used, the item needs to be sharpened and polished. Comfortable handles, durable, powder coated body is desirable for everyday, professional or outdoor use, and the items, covered by a long-time warranty are preferable.

This is a handheld multi-sized puncher. You can change size by turning the “wheel”. IMHO a quality rotary punch is a great and convenient tool but a cheap rotary punch is a nightmare. I had a couple cheap rotary punches which ended up breaking and not really doing the job. I use drive punches now. A leather sewing machine is a powered piece of mechanical equipment that joins materials together. Stitches are connections formed between materials by threads. Unlike hand sewing, which requires each stitch to be made one at a time, machine sewing allows for faster, automated stitching. Stitch wheeler is used for marking stitch hole locations on leather. It has a metal wheel with sharp points on it. Used together with an awl. Awls will be used to pierce the markings to create the stitch holes. Personally, I use Diamond chisels now. All leather piercing tools will be made with steel. This material is hard enough to be pushed through leather and can be sharpened to maintain the edge. The steel used in knives is broken down by the amount of carbon used. High-carbon steel, commonly found in budget tools, is easily sharpened but has limited edge retention. Stitching pony is a wooden tool with two arms which holds the leather item firmly in place so you can use both hands for lacing or sewing. Using both handstremendously makes the stitching process easier.

Conclusion

The rotary cutter have circular blades that will spin along when you push/pull to cut leather. Suitable for thin leather and long straight cuts. I use this a lot.

Drive punch is a one piece tool which automatically clean punched leather out the side of the barrel so there’s never any clogging. IMHO this is a gem compared to rotary punches which always leaves some kind of leather clogging (probably due to the quality of the rotary punch or my skill). Available in different sizes. (RoscoeLeather.com) Leather stitching machines at a high level have a sewing surface, spools of thread, a power source, a needle, and a control pedal. The fabric to be stitched is guided under the needle, and when the control pedal is pressed, the needle moves up and down, putting stitches into the fabric. The fabric is moved through the machine, which stitches constantly in a linear fashion. The stitching of the machine is consistent, clean, and strong. For a consistent finish on the leather, these machines are great. Factor to considerSkiving knife as the name suggest is used for skiving leather. Skiving to shave off thin layers of leather material. Personally, I use this alot for cutting as well for corner cuts and general cutting. (RoscoeLeather.com) Mallet is another striking tool that is widely used in leathercraft. It basically has a hammer style shape. Materials used are wood, rawhide, plastic and rubber. I personally dont recommend using the wooden mallet, unless you have limited budget. Rawhide or plastic is durable and will work great. Perfect to strike your punch and stamp tools. Diamond Chisels are use to produce straight, consistent diamond-sized holes for stitching. The chisels are used to to punch stitch holes along the stitch line. Available in 1,2,4,8 “teeth” variant. I mainly use this for all my projects. For curves, smaller teeth size will be used. Corner punches are metal tools with sharp, rounded edges used to cut through leather. The same round corners can be achieved with a knife. I used to cut round corners with a skiving knife. With some extra budget, this tool saves a lot of time. You get standardized corner cuts from this. Place it on the edge, and hit it with your mallet. Voila! Hammers are similar to the hammers you use for hitting nails. Since it has a metal surface, metal hammers are not suitable for striking punch tools or other metal tools. You may potentially damage the tools when striking metal with metal. I typically use these to hammer down my stitchings, works great to tap down seams. I use a maul for other striking tasks.
