Weightweight with 1500g handle – brushed silver metal

Dumbbell for silver metal cuts, without shell

This is the basic and clean version of the dumbbell with the handle: one metal body with a brushed silver finish, a smooth cylindrical wall, a rounded grip handle, and a weight of 1500 grams. There is no shell, no seams and no decoration, so there is nothing in it that gets caught in the fabric, wears out or absorbs dirt. What is left is a mass of metal that sits on the cut and does not move.

Dumbbells for cuts have replaced the brooches in the shearing stage in a lot of studios, and rightly so. Pins stretch and twist knitted fabrics and folded fabrics, caught in silk and tear thin cut paper. A dumbbell is simply placed on top. It is faster to lay, does not puncture, and leaves the fabric flat as it was unfolded.

At a studio cutting table, a simple metal dumbbell is one of the tools that work the most. It has no parts that wear out, no seams that open and no shell that gets dirty from chalk or machine oil, so it is also suitable for intensive work of producing small series. The brushed finish is less shiny than polished metal, so it is less reflective under a table lamp, and the weight of 1500 grams is enough for most fabrics, from cotton to coat fabrics.

Common Uses

• Cutting roller: fixing the cut and fabric on a cutting surface while cutting with a round knife, without pins in the way of the blade.
• Knitted and flexible fabrics: Hold without stretching, so that the cut part comes out to the size of the cut.
• Delicate and coated fabrics: satin, silk, vinyl and faux leather, in which a pin hole is visible.
• Paper cutouts: Holding thin cutout paper or parchment paper while copying, without tearing the corners.
• Leatherwork: Holding a pattern on leather while marking and cutting with a knife.

Who is it suitable for

For seamstresses and tailors who cut a lot and want a simple work tool that can be used daily, for models in the studio, for sewing teachers who equip work desks, and for those who prefer a uniform metal look that fits any workspace. It is recommended to keep it next to the rest of the sewing equipment on the cutting table.

Pro Tips

• Work in combination: a dumbbell in each corner of a large section, and another in the middle of a long line.
• In a roller, place the weight on the inside of the cutout, so that the hand holding the knife does not meet it.
• In a slippery fabric, first spread the fabric and straighten the direction of the thread, and only then lay the cut and weights.
• Metal body without casing is easy to clean: Wiping with a soft, dry cloth removes chalk powder and hand marks.
• If the weight needs to be moved, lift it with the handle and do not drag it on the fabric.

Common mistakes

• Put a dumbbell in the center of the piece and leave the edges free. The fabric moves at the edges.
• Lift the fabric with the scissors while cutting. The bottom blade should remain attached to the table.
• Forget to move grooves and seam markings before removing the dumbbells.

How is this model different from the other dumbbells in the series

It is a 1500 gram dumbbell with a handle that is entirely silver metal, without a shell. Models of the same weight and with the same handle have a shell: sewn orange, decorated reddish-brown or dark decorated. Those who need a lighter dumbbell can choose a 700 gram model without a handle, and to stabilize the base of a modeling doll, the flat disc weighs 1230 grams.
