Hi all! I have my skiving machine for a couple of months now and after studying the video course about it for I don't know how many times I decided to finally try and split largers panels of leather with the machine.

But I wouldn't be here if I didn't run into an issue :)

There is no issue with normal skiving but when I try to split leather I always have visible lines on top of my leather pieces after trying to split them. They are most visible on the stiffer pieces I try to split. On softer leather the lines usually dissapear after a while.

At first I tought my presser foot wasn't exactly level with the knife so I tried again and again.. (Luckily I have alot of scrap leather). But even when I adjust the height of the presser foot so that it doesnt take off any material I still have the lines on the leather:

I think there might be something going on with the presser foot. It looks like the shape of it does not match the shape of the knife exactly.

Does anyone else have this issue? Any Ideas to find out the exact issue and how to solve it would be much appreciated.
