Product Information

Some older tools are also great options if you can find them used. As mentioned earlier, great quality tools can last decades if properly maintained. There is talk that some of the newer CS Osbourne and Vergez Blanchard skiing knives are not made with as high a quality steel as they once were. If you can find an older one, used, it might be worth considering. Bell Skiver Machines If you’re doing very large projects, or high-volume production of leather goods, a bell skiver might be best. Hand skivers and skiver knives require the skill of the craftsperson to get accurate results, and like any craft, this can take time. That might be totally ok for one wallet, or a small bag or upholstery project. However, if you’re working on making dozens of the same design or looking at factory volume, a machine can be helpful.

However, it’s crucial to consider a used leather skiving machine’s lifespan and durability. While some old devices could have lasted years without any major issues, others can be reaching the end of their useful lives. If you’re buying an electrical skiving machine, you need to look into its operating speed. In other words, the motor power. It will likely take some practice, though totally do-able to skiver soft leather with a quality skiving knife. A lot of effort has gone into making it. You can easily tell this when you see how seamlessly every part fits in. It is laser cut, and the overall quality is very satisfactory, to say the least. Used Stainless Steel I had no idea what I was doing. Super skivers aren’t meant to be used that way. Normal skivers aren’t supposed to be used that way either. What I really needed was a splitter.Well, we are happy to announce, no such tragedies occurred here. The quality is as solid as you would expect from a reputed company like Innetoc. Quality-Of-Life Features A cool convenience we loved about this one is the machine is ready to use right out of the box. No assembly is required. Unbox it, and bam, you are ready to work on some leather. You can use the machine to pare the whole skin or edges. For beginners, this one is a great choice. It is easy to use and safe too. Comfortable Handling: Take into account the size of the skiver’s ergonomics. Select a size that feels comfortable and enables the most control and agility while being used. A skiver that feels too awkward or tiny might make the process more difficult.

Project Scale: Consider the size of your leatherworking endeavors. Smaller skivers with widths ranging from 1/16 inch to 1/2 inch are appropriate for elaborate motifs and delicate edges. Broader strokes and heavier duties are better suited for larger skivers, with widths surpassing 1/2 inch. The best way to get better at leather skiving is to practice each part involved with the process. This includes blade sharpening, cutting angle, and motion. Each of these parts will benefit the overall quality of the skived leather. A sharp blade is vital for cutting through the leather without tearing it.Little things like these might not seem all that significant. Over time, as you get more and more use out of your machine, these little things will come into play much more prominently. The Level of Wear and Tear When you are buying anything really, how you intend to use it, and what needs it will fulfill is important to consider. The same goes for skiving machines as well. That speaks of its quality and the attention to detail the manufacturer put into this thing. You can adjust the cutting speed. That allows you to be more precise and deliberate with whatever leather you’re cutting. A Tad Bit Larger
