That is a neat machine, I want one. I have an old motorized blade splitter, can''t think of the name right now. I like that this machine doesn't smoosh the leather down as it drives it through. Also, wondering, how parallel does that center roller keep it to the knife? I hate that about mine, that, or it will finish thinner than it started.
It finishes it out evenly! If anything maybe the first 1/4” may have a slight bevel! I’ve got a Stanley Centenial 18” fixed blade splitter that works decently! Sometimes the piece doesn’t go all the way through! I’m thinking I’ll try to put a speed reducer on it in hopes of increasing the “torque”!

11 1/2 - 12 oz means nothing to people that don't know a lot about leather. It would help if you said the actual thickness. But still a cool video.
Well this is directed at people who do know… thanks for watching!
@@DavidMillsSaddlery but I would like to learn. It would be helpful to people wanting to get into leather work 🤗
My apologies! I’ll remember that in the future!
