leather skiving.

Recommended Posts

Looking to get a techsew SK-5  or Cobra NP-10.

My question is can it skive at an angle from 12 oz down to 2 oz  in one inch skive. Or do they only skive flat. All the Demos I see show skivers removing leather so you can fold and sew. 

I want to taper the skive down .

If anyone has these machines please let me know before ai spend a couple thousand to find out it does not do what I want.

I installed a milled feed roller and a tapered roller foot on a Techsew SK-4 in order to skive 9-10 oz bridle leather to ~3 oz at the edge.  I describe the parts in this post.  I like the ability to switch between skiving thin and thick leather (switching out the feed roller and foot), and the ready availability of parts and accessories for bottom feed skivers.
