In all of my 48 years of installing, I've never used that trimmer. I've always used a loop pile cutter. I recall grandpa used one for kitchen carpet seams.
.......I haven't seen any of that in a while.
...like 45 years. 😁
This is the first short clip of yours I've watched, Ruben.
Straight to the point and easy to understand for the DIYer, and the up and coming tradesmen. 👍
Awesome, thank you for sharing that as that is a goal for this channel is to be exactly that
I used that thing maybe a few times...berber was the only time...on pile it likes to jump rows...a pen is good a comb split the row...That row finder metl tool is ok but it jumps sometimes and you have to start all over....I find cleaning the factory edge then taking an inch off each side on pile works amazing and its old school...That row cutter is good just time consuming....I get flawless seams for the most part using straight edge and cut from back....Im 49 and know how to stitch seam carpets....Now thats old school and i learned from an old man how too.....
using a straight edge and cutting from the back should be last resort. almost ALL carpet can be row cut and it will give you the best results. If you noticed in this video after i made the cut there were no loose or cut fibers, it is impossible to do that when using a straight edge and back cutting. Row cutting is like anything else the more you do it the easier it gets. IT IS THE BEST WAY to get a seam that will last for years without loosing fibers over time and causing the seam to be noticeable.
Wish I'd seem this three days ago😅
Wish you’d seam this three days ago too
most important thing using one of thes cutters dont cut down the pile and remember there are two blades left cut and right cut...dont use the same blad without adjusting or seams will be visible
thank you
Wow. I've had carpets installed and there are always lots of fibres to clean up.
There should not be any fibers from a carpet seam now they’re definitely will be cleanup from cutting around the perimeter
The quality of your seams will make or break the job.
Yes sir
I am so going to install my own carpet after watching enough of your new channel! Thanks bro!
