Creasing Iron/Fileteuse Attachment for an electric Tooling Iron.

@LizzieMade Ah ok,

Another issue with these converted soldering irons/ pyrography burners is that the shaft is usually made from thin sheet steel. This isn't designed to take much pressure other than pressing straight down. They also don't last long and the heating element isn't replaceable (I tried this exact route years ago).

If cost is an issue, I would stick with manual creasers until you can justify the expense of a dedicated creasing machine.

@Leathercraft Masterclass Thank you for the advice. I should think it'll be nice for wax edging anyway! I'll look at manual creasers then (though Mister LizzieMade is unhappy about the idea of a flame in a room containing so much paper! Perhaps I should use it in the kitchen!)

@LizzieMade Most creasers will heat up on an induction hob (no flames and it can't burn paper). You can buy small portable ones with a single hob quite cheaply. If it doesn't work (some stainless steels don't heat up) you can simply return it to the store.
