Pro Detail Rougher, Leather Roughing Tool Polish File Tool 5mm

Value For Money Welcome to my new. Too

As a leather worker this makes a great addition to roughing up leather before the glue. I’ve been impressed with the way it works, and the quality of the product. My only complaint is that I think I got a small one, and would recommend going a little larger than you think. Also I’m not a huge fan of the plastic handle, but it is what it is. Overall, it really does the job, has a great rough service that does work well, and has been a solid tool I always use.

I have used the leather rougher daily and have had pretty good results. I will make note of the pattern of the file is such that it does clog up a bit when being used for roughing project edges prior to gluing them. I haven't yet figured out a good way to clean the surface of the file but I will post here whenever I find a method to clean the debris from the file pattern. It does not clog as much on Veg. tan leather but on oil tanned or other chemical tanned leather it seems to clog faster than using a folded piece of 60 or 80 grit open coat sandpaper. That has worked well for my for years and is a very quick and easy way to break the "finish" on the hair side of most leathers, it doesn't need to be pretty, it is simply to give whatever type of leather cement you choose a bit of "tooth" for a more secure bond. This tool is good for light work though or for someone who is a hobby leather crafter. I would recommend it over any other type of roughing tool but it is wise to mark your glue path and lay a straight edge along the line to help it cut an even straight path for the application of the adhesive on both sides of the joint.

Works really well and it's faster and easier than using a knife to scratch the leather.
