Does anyone know the name of the cutter that cuts both carpet backings at the same time. i think it was the twin cutter all you had to do was leave a 1/4in. gap put it in and pull.

Re: carpet seam cutter


You posted a link just right, Al. All it is is a copy & paste of the website address. Our forum software does the rest.

I followed the link to Shag Tools, but couldn't find a double-cutter seam cutting tool for cutting 2 edges at once. Maybe another supplier has one.

R'gards,

Jim

Re: carpet seam cutter


I believe the tool you are talking of was made by Crain. I had a guy try to cut a berber seam with one. What a mess he made of it. Not a tool of choice for me. I just went to the Crain site and didn't see one listed. I don't know if they make them anymore or not.
This was about 14 years ago.

Re: carpet seam cutter


You got it fathead, it was called the Twin Cutter and was made by Crain.
POS and they don't make them anymore.

If you want one I have one somewhere in my pile of tools that don't work.

Re: carpet seam cutter


To see if it will work for me. I was told if you hold your mouth just right, cross your fingers and close one eye it will work. maybe!!
