Iron Tip for Reptile Leather
Iron Tip for Reptile Leather
This is commonly used to iron out wrinkles when working with reptilian leather. So this is the theory, chrome tanned leather shrinks when heat is applied, thus tightening up the grain and reduces the visibility of the wrinkles.
Please take precaution to not go too hot, as it will damage the the grain and finish of the leather. Rule of thumb is if its too hot to touch with your fingers, it is too hot for the leather.

Tapered Nut
Short circuit is a common issue in electric creasers. I have narrowed down one of the causes. The steel center rod that goes through the brass body of the creasing tip can misalign and bend slightly with constant use, especially with high pressure. The two brass nuts used in common electric creaser tips are cylindrical and a little too close for comfort to the internal walls of the creasing handle screw mount. A slight misalignment can cause the cylindrical brass nut to touch both the cathode and anode at the same time, sending your machine to an early grave.
This is my solution:
Custom manufactured tapered nut made from steel.
