Hi we do steel rule blanking dies for leather. Just tell us the leather thickness, size, what leather (cow, buffalo,goat...) and the number of dies you need to make. We can make the dies for you and send. Just send the dxf format designs to us by logging on to www.custompartsonline.com or just send direct mail to custompartsonline@gmail.com

hello, are you still interested in making steel rule dies with a router and you said you bought the 2pt rule and a 2pt kerf bit? I may have an easy way for you to do this. If you could email me a drawing or pic of a complex die and one of a simpler die you wish to make using a router so i can see if my idea will work for you. my email is bbroughman2243@suddenlink.net. Thanks Brady
