Adding torque to my bell skiver. With this speed reducer it can now turn through the toughest oil tanned leather.

Thanks! Good tip. I have installed a milled steel drive roller and a roller foot in order to make tapered straps for swells on bridle parts. I am using a Tech Sew SK-4. Will look into installing a speed reducer.

Glad that your solution works for you. I solved my skiving issues by adding a second servo motor. The knife runs at a constant high speed and the feed speed is independent and controlled using the speed pedal. Apparently some of the Fortuna models were set up that way and that is where I got my inspiration from.

Perfect! I am experiencing this with my skiver. I’m on it, thanks Andrew! I’ve bought a reducer pulley and am waiting by the front door! I owe you one!

I just added a second servo for the feed wheel. Im still waiting on a v belt to try setup. This may be my next upgrade! Thanks

Andrew in Omaha this is Ed in Lawton Ok. I’m thinking of doing the same modification to my new MP-4. I’m new to leather and Bag making and plan on making lots of Bags. I take it you got your Speed Reducer and Belts from Leather Machine Company (LMC). Did LMC know the size of belts you needed or did you have to measure? Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Good video you did the hard part already by figuring out what the fix was. I also plan on purchasing the Rubber Roller for mine. I figure the hardest part is figuring out and drilling the holes in table top. Thanks again for the good information.

Yes I got everything from LMC. I used 34” and 36” belts.

Honestly, i think there are better solutions. I think for the leather you are skiving, backing the blade up from the presser foot a bit and dropping the feed wheel down a small amount would have helped. Also, you may need more than one pass on some leathers. Adding a 2nd servo so that the blade runs full speed and you have independent control of the feed wheel is the best option. Even after you added the speed reducer, i can hear your machine struggling. You gotta adjust the placement of knife and wheel depending on the leather you use. It is not a one size fits all machine.
