Hello there,
Does anyone have experience with bell skivers equipped with two motors, one to control the roller and another for the blade? Is it possible to do fine skivings with just a single motor or does a second one make a lot of difference?
Also, I've heard not having a suction system may cause the skived leather (the discarded one) to grip onto the roller and come back up, ruining the skiving process, specially on long runs like straps.
Does anyone agree or disagree with that?
Thank you.
Thanks, Phil. I might go with a servo motor, if costs permit, but I'll probably skip everything else then. For the use Iow use I'll have, it should suffice.
My main worry was actually the clutch system, but if you have no issues, I guess with some practice I'll be fine.
Thanks
If you can get dual motors, then it's a bonus. But don't pay over the odds just to have it.
I use a clutch system, and every time I go to skive, it skives. I can't justify the cost to convert it just so it does something it's already doing.
I don't have an issue with leather coming back up and disrupting the skive either. If I worked on a factory production line, all these extras may help, but I don't.
