I have a beautiful Landis 5-in-1 purchased from a company that specializes in restoring leather work equipment. The model 25 is a combination sole trimmer, sole cutter, skiver, edge beveler, and welt roller. We purchased this after taking classes to make bespoke men's shoes. We have been too busy with school and have not used it. Only removed it from its packaging to take photos.

Hi Danne, I don't think I have enough experience to answer most of your questions but can suggest looking at a Consew skiver. My wife and I purchased a DCS-S4 at the recommendation of Wills Shanor after we took his men's dress shoes course several years ago. We've both been in school and haven't had a chance to even take it out of the boxes. We're thinking about selling it so we can get through school and then start back into shoemaking after we graduate. If you're interested, it includes the stand, motor, etc. Best, Russ
