I presented it to my wife a couple of years ago as a Christmas gift, cause she is into crafting and stuff. So now, when I got into fishing and flies, she kindly let me use it, but she keeps joking that it was my plan from the very beginning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works OK and only paid about $25 on Amazon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not to just cut wing cases- I know a lot of pike guys who use them to cut custom ultra suede tail shapes- stuff like cohen's tails, kiley's stuff, paccharini, etc. All can be cut on those machines. I think Pat uses a laser cutting machine, but it's a pretty thin materials. Off the top- I would cut foam strips, ultra suede tails, raffia, stencil patterns, - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
