Members SantaFeMarie Posted April 4, 2015 Members Report Posted April 4, 2015 Awesome! Is there a single machine that can both split the full width of piece of leather and edge skive? Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted April 4, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted April 4, 2015 I couldn't help notice your method of skiving with your machine. After skiving across one side, lift the top foot so you can slide the leather to the edge of your last skive before completing. I think many folks having problems with their skiving machines try to begin at the edge of the leather. That usually makes the skiver cut a piece out of the already skived edge. ferg Quote
