JJNorman2323 Report post Posted November 7, 2016 So I picked up a barely used Master Tools leather Splitter, was told and can confirm it is ~ 1 year old. When I checked out the demo at Weaver the same machine was splitting 5 oz. leather down to 2-3 oz with ease. I have calibrated my splitter per the instructions but can't get it to split with this precision. It currently tends to start splitting a piece of leather correctly then the top layer gets thinner and thinner and stops skiving usually about 2 inches into a strip of leather Does anyone have experience with this machine and can offer some advice how to calibrate it to split thinner leather? I have noticed the bottom roller, which is spring loaded, gets pushed down too easily. Thanks in advance. Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you'll only want to take maybe a couple of ounces (1/32") per pass and make multiple passes, taking a small amount with each pass. I think I recall seeing a video on YouTube for this machine.
