In most good workshops and apprentice training= the cutting of cloth and felt in straight lines with a basic straighte= dge is a fundamental requirement for embarking on good quality piano wo= rk. Over the years new tools and materials have come along which can m= ake some jobs easier. I think that the Spurlock cutting block for angl= ed cuts on damper felt is super, but for basic cutting of cloth and and= thin felt, the thin steel straightedge with sandpaper on one side is s= o easy and straightforward. As I said in an earlier post I personally = like to use scalpels for some of this fine cutting. Also with some dam= per felt applications, straightedge trimming of the backing material to= the white felt itself gives you a far better finish than trying to rep= licate the width of the backing to the damper felt.
