Teflon are a fair bit better but I like the roller way more. You may be able to buy some teflon tape and try it. Brian

I bought a 30mm roller and a 54mm teflon. For splitting I have found the teflon better. Thanks for your help. A sharp blade has been the most important part for me :) If the skiver blade is perfectly sharp it is MUCH easier to use. -Adam

I appreciate all your help. It is working great! Splitting is still a challenge but I am no longer putting holes in things :) Now I am looking at sewing machine for the future (I don't think I can continue hand sewing in the future....) -Adam

I stumbled on this while having a look around on the Campbell Randall web site the other day. http://www.campbell-randall.com/public/index.php/product/fav-1498c-roller-foot-with-30mm-1498-roller

If you go back and have a look into the parts section, in this case the FAV parts section there is a large amount of various feet for these skivers. I have a Fav and a Fortuna skiver and have been able to interchange the feet on them so I suspect that this should fit the Cobra as well. There is also an off centre pin that can rotate that holds the feet and that may be handy to have as well. I would give it a try as I think it would work and if so the amount of other variable parts such as the feed rollers and feet could be very handy knowledge to others including sellers on here. There is a member on LW that may be able to assist as well ..... @CampbellRandall

Many skiver manufacturers already make roller feet and have them readily available for purchase. Many manufacturers feet are interchangeable on many other manufacturers’ machines. 
 

Talk to Ron Kay at RSK Sales (formerly Melanie Machine Co) they specialize in slivers of all brands and ages and would most likely be able to help you

i have always found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful.
