Skiver

did some research while looking for a skiving machine recently. i considered this option. these are china machines that take on a variety of names/brand’s, but commonly known as “801” model. i read the reviews on chinese websites and most are reporting satisfactory performance with it - depending on what motor you hook it up with, the way it functions might also be different. in the end i took the risk and bought a super old FAV skiving machine instead - which suprisingly worked well without and replacement parts. the lack of suction however is indeed a problem especially with splitting, which means i have to manually vacuum the whole area frequently hope it helps~

I'm not familiar with either of these but I can tell you a couple things you want to be sure of. First you need to be sure that the speed can be controlled very well. You dont want something that has a fixed speed or doesnt have the ability to go very slow. Also consider that these have no suction and just throw everything onto the floor. It will increase the price to have a machine with suction but its much more convenient.

Maybe someone else with more experience on different machines can chime in with their advice.
