Kate Report post Posted March 13, 2010 REALLY not having any luck at all in searching for a tutorial or instruction on using a bench splitter to do skiving. I have one that was sold by Neel Saddlery, but have not been able to successfully do much with it. Any advice would be MOST welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure that it will be easier to make repeated skives that way than by another way - as I said, I just have not figured out how the dang thing works, and have had it sitting in the shop for several years now. THanks very much for you kind reply. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Report post Posted March 16, 2010 Here's an update, to say that Ryan Neel has kindly sent me a two page instructional document, and I am now practicing up on making tidy lap skives! The machine works very well..... the operator needs to run through another five pounds of scrap in practice. Ya learn something new every day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
