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. 👍
Some times I would like to use a carpet cutter but most of the time the carpet is defective with a skew what would you do in the case? I use a straight edge and sorted my blades so they cut the backing
What about for short bits. I did a patch at a door at home that was about 1m wide and found that type of cutter didnt stay in the row. I found it more precise to flip the piece upside down and use a knife and a metal straight edge. I dont feel like i have any control with the row cutter thing. I basically just have to learn by trial and error.
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.
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

Wow !
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
