Members Leathershark Posted January 8 Members Report Posted January 8 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. Quote
Members TomE Posted January 8 Members Report Posted January 8 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. Quote
Members xnikolaos Posted March 3 Members Report Posted March 3 Some data from CAMPBELL RANDALL model 10A, showing how the spare parts are used. Applicable to all similar skiving machines. Quote
