Thanks Mike
I've checked local and all they have is 20 and 24 Gage in full sheets..

if they do have some Mike let me know how much.$$ with shipping..

I'm making a roll mill type leather cutter to cut out Marbles reproduction sheaths I've been making for a customer, this will make things so much easier..
I need the sheet steel for the back up tray under the die cutters..
it has to be .050 +- .001 so I can repeat the trays once worn out..
the rolls won't be adjustable on this one...
I bought one of these mark III 's and want a bigger one :)

Looks like a handy machine Dan!
Beats the crap out of cutting the leather with scissors don't it, lol!
What do you make the dies out of?

it has ribbing steel with just a rounded cutting edge, never needs to be sharpened..it just wears down after a long time
the shape is cut into the piece of plywood which
holds the cutter in place
up right
this machines upper roller is coated with a plastic which aids in the cutting
the die cutter which goes all the way through the wood
is backed up with a lower steel roll
to look at it you'd think twice about it working..it will cut up to 5 layers
of card stock at a time too:eek: it a little more complicated then that but it's the jest of it..

it does shear at an angle at the ends if the leather is thick 10oz but I'm using 7 oz on the marbles so it's good to go..
 
Dan,
I may be able to get some from my brother in law. If I can, I will bring it to the show this Sunday.
