Amazon bell skiver question

[Tommy217xxx]

I want to get a bell skiver and was curious if this Amazon bell skiver would work. I’m mainly working with 2/3 oz chrome tan for wallets and bags.

They're generally called 801 skivers and there's no reason why it shouldn't be great. When I made a wallet for myself I skived it to death. It's an eleven pocket bifold and is really thin when fully loaded. They're pretty simple machines and most parts are easy to find.

This machine would definitely do the job for you. The learning curve on my skiver was a bit steep but patience and lots of trial work. I'd label each control on the machine as soon as you get it as this helps when tweaking it!

This is a clone that is the predominant skiver available today. The Chinese pump them outta a factory or two. Mine is a Chinese clone branded "Techsew". They may all need more, less or nothing to get up and running.
