NewYorkerInSydney Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Hi good people, I've been contemplating the purchase of the Cobra Class 14 leather splitter complete unit. It seems to do a beautiful job at splitting veg tan. Anyone here have experience splitting chrome tan? I'd love to be able to split 5,6,7oz+ thick leather down to pieces thin enough for making wallets etc. How do you think it will do? I value your advice and opinions. Looking forward to your replies.

BruceGibson Report post Posted May 8, 2015 I love mine. It's done a beautiful job on both veg and chrome-tan. And it will shave it down thin. If I had a regret, it would be that I didn't buy this thing ten years ago! (I've had mine about a year). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewYorkerInSydney Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Hi Bruce, No kidding? Thats pretty good news. How thick is the chrome tan you split? Cheers, Nyis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BruceGibson Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Nyis it's generally 3/4 or 4/5 oz. Most recently I split 4/5 oz chrome-tanned American Bison down to about 2 oz (paper) for a liner. It worked beautifully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
