Description
Strap Sizing Templates help you set the width on a strap cutter before cutting leather. These plastic guides provide a physical reference for adjusting the cutter, making setup easier and helping you return to a consistent width when preparing straps for leathercraft projects.
When making several matching pieces, checking your cutter setting before starting can help avoid differences between straps. A template is a useful starting point, especially when changing between jobs. Always check the selected width against your project requirements and confirm the result on a scrap piece before cutting your main leather.

How to Use Strap Sizing Templates
Slide the appropriate plastic template into the strap cutter and adjust the cutter to that width. Follow your cutter’s instructions for securing the setting, then remove the guide before cutting. Make a test cut and measure the resulting strap before continuing.
Applications
Use the guides during setup for projects involving leather strips, such as belt blanks, bag straps, handles and small leather accessories. Choose the finished strap width to suit your design and hardware. For a buckle or fitting, check its internal width rather than measuring the outside of the hardware.
Why Choose These Templates?
Strap Sizing Templates give you a reusable reference for routine cutter adjustments. Keeping a width guide with your cutting tools can simplify preparation when you regularly switch between different strap projects.
