Using A Router To Skive

[venator]

Has anyone ever used a router on a horizontal mount to skive their leather?

If the router bit caught the leather just right, it would wrap the leather around the bit and all hell would break loose quicker than you can bat an eye.

I wouldn't use a router on leather, it will grab, just too dangerous.

You can use a small block plane with a sharp blade to skive leather.

i use a crazy sharp wood chisel. 1/2" wide for more control.
