@atelierpeternitz peter therefore you never use the salpa inside retourne bags? how do you give structure to the bags to be turned over?

Hi Peter, I recently got some hides form Carriat split down to 1.2mm. I’m trying to cut a nice straight line it so I can begin to cut belt straps out of it with a draw gauge. What I’ve done so far is lay the hide down on the desk, take a long flat bar and place it over the hide edge, clamped that down on either end and cut along the bar. I often find the leather doesn’t end up completely straight. Let alone trying to square off the far end to make straps, unless there’s no need for that

Oops sorry I guess I misunderstood your post! I think almost nobody owns a splitter because they are huge investments. Most buy the right thickness right away, send it to a splitter or use a bell skiver for smaller panels. A difference of 1.2 or 1.3 in different parts of the same skin is not really noticed. Hope someone else can answer your question!

3/4hp has been plenty with my skiving. 2.5mm veg tan has been the thickest thus far.

U can also use this as a baseline: https://campbell-randall.com/product/sa-gbsm-550-goldstar-brushless-servo-motor-34-hp-110v-1

Yes, I know, thank you! I've seen that, it helped me a lot, just wanted to hear from others too ;)

Hi James, What do you mean by a straight edge? You mean a straight crease to the edge?

Hi Julie, Hmm...the large scales shouldn't separate people often use ostrich leg to make wallets. can you post a pic? best peter

Hi Juraj, I bought a cheaper 'Global' brand bell skiver that had only one servo motor that ran the feed roller and the knife blade. https://www.tysew.co.uk/industrial-sewing-machines/skiving/global-sk111-skiver-skiving?search=skiver however as you probably know to get any useable results you really need two separate motors. One to control the feed roller speed with the foot pedal, and one for a constant speed of the bell knife. All I did was buy a very similar type motor to what was already on the machine as they were out of stock of what was supplied on the machine. (https://www.tysew.co.uk/industrial-accessories/motors-motor-accessories/jack-jk-513c-silent-energy-efficient-servo-industrial-motor?search=jack%20motor) I then mounted this motor underneath to run a separate belt to the feed wheel pulley. and it works great. I'll attach some photos when I get chance. Whether or not that motor is recommended I don't know but its working great, i can adjust the constant speed of the knife using the buttons on the control unit and now use the foot pedal exclusively for the feed wheel, its very quiet and the results on the end product are night and day. granted its a little bit of a hassle but saved a good chunk of money cheers

About "feeling" if you are very perfectionist, it may give you a feeling of satisfaction that all the leather of your bag has the same thickness; otherwise I can't see anything else.

@atelierpeternitz No worries. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
