olandrea Report post Posted May 11, 2013 I have to split down some bridle leather from 4,7mm to 3,5m what do you think the maximum width you can pull even If you do this in several passes? I tried a width of 19cm and there is no way I could pull it trough! Thanks Olaf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oltoot Report post Posted May 11, 2013 You didn't say how wide your splitter was. I have an Osborne 84 8" and if my blade is sharp and stropped I can pull 6" with relative ease. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruce johnson Report post Posted May 11, 2013 Good sharp blade and leather with some body I can usually get about 1-2" less than the blade width without a lot of trouble. On some I am doing the one side and then the other to get through. Depeneds on my leather some and what flavor of splitter I am using too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olandrea Report post Posted May 11, 2013 Maybe with a chase pattern leather splitter, because they have a thinner blade. But with my Osborne and bridle leather I can't do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
