COWBOY POWER SKIVER WITH DIGITAL SERVO

[Ferg]

Bought this Skiver from Bob Kovar. Thought I would use it a lot but find I have very little use for it.

Probably used 3 months, kept lubricated and sharpened, excellent condition, includes two extra rollers, top and bottom feed, Digital Servo Motor. Machine mounted on "K" style stand with foot pedal control. Has a disposal chute for scrap ejection.

Asking $1350.00  Would rather not ship, can be picked up in Southwestern Ohio. Machine weighs approximately 90# plus table and servo.

Any questions: Contact Ferg

I cant believe I see no questions in regards to buy. If it were over here I would already be on your doorstep. Must be the GFC or something.

Is this machine still availale?

[Ferg]

Yes it is.

That's a smoking hot deal for a machine that can power skive veg-tan.

Hello,

 Can't find any info on the duel feed Cowboy version of this skiver. Is it it basically the same as the Cobra top and bottom feed as far as its thickness, and thin-ness capabilities? I'm shopping for a skiver, just don't know if this is too much skiver for me...Don't know if skivers are like sewing machines where if it does 12-14 ounce it won't work good for lighter weights. I can see myself doing both weights but 90% of what I need it for is 4-6 ounce.

It's perfect for thinner leathers because the top-feed helps to pull it through ,unlike the bottom-feed that will ruin thin leather.

Thank you. So if I understand correctly this can do everything a bottom feed can but better and with the capability of going thicker?

[Ferg]

I have used the skiver for 1.5mm to 2mm plus much heavier veg tan. The thicker leathers may need to be run through more than once.

The Cowboy and several others are identical except for the name on them. LOL

No one should tell you that learning to use a power skiver is easy. Not for the faint of heart. Your eventual results will make a believer out of you.

If you do not have a good supply of scrap leather to practice with, go to a Tandy store and buy a bag of same. Chrome tanned as well as veg tan.

Is shipping this still off the table? I'd have to get past the looming tax day anyway but I'd interested if you can ship it for a reasonable price.

Precisely.  This is NOT a beginner machine, but nothing works like it does.

Mark842,

This machine weighs about 90 pounds without the table and servo. It would need to be "Crated" and packed with impact resistant foam board.

That also means I would need to break the legs/table down and pack them separately.

Since I have no idea what your area code is I can't give you a figure on the shipping.

I will help you all I can, shipping these things is expensive.

Hi Ferg,

Just take the head off, Put cardboard over the table top and strap the whole unit (upright) to a pallet. Box the head and strap the box to the pallet under the table.  I had one come that way from Los Angeles to Vancouver Island, no problem.  I would call Fedex Ground for a shipping quote.

[SolarLeatherMachines]

Buy Freight Insurance.

Looks as though I would have to have $200 - $225 to ship to you.

That doesn't include Insurance.

I gave $1500 for the machine, you would still be getting deal. lol

I'm interested but it would have to wait till July for me. Been buying and the budgets a little thin right now. That being said, I know this is a great deal. If I could now I would. If it is still available come July I'll be contacting you.

 

Thanks!

Mark

[Ferg]

Keep in mind, if anyone says they want the machine before July, it will be sold.

Thanks for your interest.

Ferg

[Mark842]

Of course. I expect no less! I've just bought a couple new machines, some new dies, and worst of all, the tax man cometh  next weekend. if its still available in July I'll yell at you and we will work it out.

Thanks,

Mark
