Consew skiving machine modification

Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m interested in converting my consew skiving machine to have the blade spin separate from the rolling stone. How do I do that? It has a servo motor on it now that spins both of them. Side not...I think the company I got it from has the servo motor configured backwards because the higher numbers are slower and when I turn it to the off label it doesn’t turn off but clicks...turning the complete opposite direction until it won’t move anymore turns the motor off....weird. But that doesn’t effect me.

you will have to add a second motor to run the blade separately.  it won't have to be huge.  1/4 hp, maybe 1/8.  bolt it under the table.  then use the servo motor to run the feed.  the reason these skivers don't come with two motors - cost.

there is one other detail.  some skivers have a built in clutch.  so, instead of using a sewing machine motor, they use a motor that runs constantly, and has a belt that goes over to the feed drive pulley.  there is where the clutch will be found.  but, i think a lot of the consew skivers don't have that.  it comes down to two choices then - either two motors, or a built in clutch.

I just bought one from Sergey at Sewpro and its the top and bottom feed style machine. He adds  second continually running motor for the blade, then the feed is off a normal servo sewing machine motor, makes so much more sense, I wouldn't have wanted just the one motor to run all of it!
