Review on YaeTek Leather Splitter Skiving Peeling by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality skiving at an affordable price

Split leather available. With the price of leather. I buy a leather saddle skirt that is thicker than I really need. This allows me to make leather thinner for belts etc. The gap width is 6 inches and needs to be fixed really securely. I split 4" and 5" wide cartridge belts quickly and accurately. Try this with a small skiver. The clerk at my local leather shop told me their cleaver wasn't very good for that. They also cost about 500.00. At the price I decided to risk it. I saved over 300.00. Really good deal. That works great. No instructions but I had mounting screws. I would suggest using a skin flap and playing around with it to learn its settings. This splitter is almost identical to the more expensive one. The only difference I see is the wooden handle. If you really need to split leather I would recommend it for smaller and narrower splits. A little more expensive but worth it.

Pros
  • This leather skiving machine is handmade, you need to lift the skiving material manually, suitable for vegetable tanned leather.
Cons
  • Uncertain

This is a very nice tool! I only wish I had gotten one years ago.
