Malchut Report post Posted December 28, 2017 Hello, I would love to hear your opinions on which skiver you would choose if given a choice? It will be used for leather used for book binding. I don't see many, if any reviews on the Techsew. Please advise. Thank you so much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) You posted this same question several days ago. I have a COWBOY skiver that is a clone of the Fortuna as is the Cobra and Techsew skiver. Cannot vouch for the Cobra or Techsew since I haven't used one. The Fortuna is top of the HILL in skiving machines of this type. Also top of the HILL in cost. My COWBOY is bottom and top feed with a Digital Servo driving it. I have some additional attachments for it also. I bought it new several years ago. Don't use it much since I prefer hand skiving. I would consider selling the unit for $1400. There isn't even a scratch on it, I take very good care of my machinery. That doesn't include crating or shipping to anywhere within the USA.
