Members beeswax Posted January 27, 2017 Members Report Posted January 27, 2017 Hi - Another tyro newbie seeking advice. I have acquired the splitter shown attached. While it is clear how to split. I wondered if there is a tecnique to taper skive my strap ends. If you use a similar vintage machine I would be grateful for any advice on practical usage. Quote
Members catskin Posted January 27, 2017 Members Report Posted January 27, 2017 Actually that machine is intended for beveling outer soles for boots. It leaves a rough mark on the good side of the leather. You can run the ends of the leather through it but you only get a short slope with rough ( tracks) and for a clean cut all the way through you have to run a piece of scrap right behind to push the first piece through.
