Could this be used for cutting 1/8" veg-tanned leather?

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.

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.

I would guess so, but it might be tricky to make sure you got it exactly the right length. If the length was right on the cut though, I don't see why it wouldn't work. :-)

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

No. I don't think so. I use it for rolls of thin paper to cover tables with. I would not use it for precise cutting.

I'm not sure if 7/8 inch is really what you mean, that's just shy of an inch and there are not to many sewing machines that an inch will fit under the foot of. But I know I sew two pieces of leather with two layers of double sided tap and a thin piece of plastic in-between and it goes through it great. But 7/8" I don't think it is going to work.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

Well, it's designed for paper and cardstock, so it may cut thin leather, but I doubt the blade would last long.

I think i saw a blade that leaves 1/2". That would probably work. That blade that comes with it leaves about 1/4" or less.

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

Perhaps with a precision cut. Unless it's a straight clean precise cut, I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks,Madeline

No. It's intended to be used for straight cuts. You could probably clamp it down and make it work but there are better tools for that.

I wouldn't try it....if you elect to, use it in a discrete place.....I used it for leather and would purchase it again....good luck!!!

I have used it successfully with leather that is approximately 1/8" thick....beyond that I'm not sure.

Not a chance. I was just using this tool this morning to clip a camelia tree. You can cut up to about 3/8" branches.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

Probably not for leather. Leather requires a point of some type to pierce it and you can get a leather puncher much cheaper. This tool is strictly for metal.
