PEU Report post Posted June 5, 2014 Hello guys, Im a long time lurker that started posting these days. A friend of mine asked me if I can design a leather splitter and maybe manufacture a couple for us. So I started looking at videos and photos to understand how they work, once I grasped what I think its the way they work (never saw one in person) I started designing. All the machines share the same design so I guess I'm not infringing any copyright here. Here are the first images: Anyway, after drawing almost all the parts I have many doubts: 1) There are two sets of springs, lower and upper, lower is stronger and its adjusted by a nut on top of it (not drawn) If the lower roller can be adjusted up and down by this nut, what should be the default position of the cutting blade which is fixed to the structure and unable to move up and down? 2) how does the thickness selector works? (I haven't drawn top part yet) What I grasped from photos there is a bar with a taper on both ends that rides on top of the blue rod of the top bushing, but Im not sure how it works exactly. There are more doubts, but no point listing them all, there is time for that Can you guys help me with photos or explanations? Thanks Pablo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
