artwithapulse Report post Posted January 7, 2016 Hi guys. I'm looking at buying this model hand-crank splitter (in an old sea-green colour, all steel construction) - it's $1350 Australian, so a large expense. I want to split, at maximum, 5.7" wide firm harness leather 10-11oz down to 5/6. Is this going to happen, or is this dreaming? It's the absolute widest I'll split, so isn't a *massive* deal if it can't handle something that wide with a 6" blade. Most everything else is wallet pieces. Thankyou!
