Belt Templates - Short Point Design 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 38mm and 40mm (Set of 5)

Belt Templates - Short Point Design

A set of five short point belt templates for 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 38mm and 40mm width belts. Each one is laser cut from 3mm basswood and includes both the strap end and the buckle end, so you can mark out a complete belt from a single template.

The short point is a classic triangular tip with straight, angled sides, shorter and blunter than a long point. It's a versatile everyday style that suits most belts.

What's in the Set

• 5 templates: 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 38mm and 40mm widths
• Each template laser-engraved with its width, so there's no mixing them up
• Short point tip at the strap end, with the adjustment hole positions already cut
• Buckle end with the slot for the buckle tongue and fixing holes for Chicago screws or rivets
• Laser cut from 3mm basswood: light, flat and stiff enough to trace around accurately

Which Width Do You Need?

• 25mm: slim dress belts and women's belts
• 30mm: smart-casual and chino belts
• 35mm: a versatile everyday width
• 38mm (1.5 inch): the standard jeans belt width, which fits most belt loops
• 40mm: heavy-duty work belts

How to Use Them

Lay the template on your cut strap and line it up with the end. Scribe around the short point with a pen or scratch awl, then mark the hole positions through the template. Cut the tip with a sharp knife, punch the holes with a round punch and the buckle slot with an oblong punch, and you've got a matching set of holes and a clean, consistent tip every time.

Best for: Everyday belts, smart-casual belts and first belts for beginners.

• Save time: no measuring and marking out each belt from scratch
• Less waste: accurate marking means fewer spoiled straps
