Contributing Member Ferg Posted June 10, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted June 10, 2012 Bruce, You are correct the one I had was a 5 in 1. I refurbished it with intent to sell it which I did. Thus, my slightly vague comments concerning part of the machine. Have trouble finding my way home sometimes so any loss of memory is normal. LOL ferg Ferg, If yours has the welt press on top, it is called a 5-in-1. At least one place lists the five functions of those as a welt roller, sole cutter, heel trimmer, edge beveler, and skiver. Can any shoe folks verify that a 3-in-1 will trim heels as well as cut soles. If so, they may be a skiver/sole cutter/heel trimmer. It is probably one of those things that a person cand do enough different things that the functions kind of overlap. I do know that at least with my dedicated crank skivers I can level them and split or angle them and skive. The only 3-in-1 I have is a Progressive salvage piece and it has the blade adjustment way different and "Progressive" may be a misnomer.
Members niftycurly Posted June 11, 2012 Members Report Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Would anyone be able to point to a manual or any kind of documentation for the Landis 2" machine at the beginning of this post? Or perhaps know the model name/number? Google has not been forthcoming tho it looks quite similar to the Landis that Bruce posted in his crank skiver thread. Many thanks, -Ellen Edited June 11, 2012 by niftycurly
