I am looking for one of these. I want the one that you can dial in what amount you want to skive/split and hand crank it. There was one on ebay but I decided on it too late, it's gone. Thanks.

I will Luke. I hope I see one there or somewhere before that, or I'll have to turn down a good sized order. I need this machine badly.

Well Luke, I found one, but it's in Oregon. I'm abit nervous about paying someone like that as I normally pay with paypal and don't worry too much. Do you think I would be safe using just my credit card for this? It's a Landis P-30 in good condition. Is that a good model? The ones I have been seeing in person aren't this model. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

Try Ron Burke - Tx Leather Machinery - 940-736-4707

I bought a band knife, crank skiver, clicker, Randall Spotter, and a Adler sewing machine from him...all are good machines, but I do have a mechanic come out at least once per year to be sure all of them are still working at peak, tuned up, etc.

I already owned a Landis 3, and a Consew flatbed for chaps, etc. Bought a Campbell 2 years ago as well, privately. The Landis is my big stitcher for saddles, breastcollars, etc, and the Campbell is set up to stitch small goods, chap tops, headstalls, etc. I still use the Consew (have had it since 1987) for chaps. Ron was a big help when I opened up my own shop, 'full time' - I felt I needed the big machinery to make my business successful quickly, in order to be as efficient as possible. I don't have to drive anywhere to 'borrow' a splitter, etc. I had checked with quite a few dealers, and he had the biggest selection, and his prices were better than most. I do think it is a good idea to check out what you plan to buy if you can - take some leather with, and use it so you know if it is ok, or something that might need worked on, etc. These machines are all older, so have to be aware of what you are buying - same applies to Ebay - have bought a few items there as well, ended up reselling later on...

Thankyou for your reply shelly, but I am also concerned with price. I won't pay $900. for a splitter. I may call them and see. Thanks.
