C.S Osborne #84 Leather splitter.
The C.S. Osborne No. 84 Leather Splitter is a timeless benchtop pulling tool designed to reduce leather thickness, level out strap variations, and skive belt ends for buckle folding. By pulling strap leather through the adjustable blade, you achieve a smooth, perfectly consistent gauge across your entire strip.
Crafted with a heavy-duty cast iron body and fitted with a razor-sharp, heat-treated steel blade, the No. 84 mounts securely to your workbench. Its fine-adjustment screws provide micrometer-like control over cutting depth, making it an essential machine for saddlery, belt production, and fine leatherworking.
Key Features:
- Fine Micro-Adjustment: Simple adjustment screws ensure exact thickness control for uniform skiving and splitting.
- Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Frame: Solid, rigid construction built to handle high pull tension for decades of shop use.
- High-Carbon Tool Steel Blade: Precision-ground cutting edge for clean splitting (replacement blades sold separately).
- Splitting Width Capacity : Accommodates leather strips and straps up to 4-1/2 inches (approx. 11.4 cm) wide.
- Essential Workshop Tool: Ideal for thinning strap ends, leveling custom belt hides, or preparing handles and harness straps.
Usage Tip:
Securely bolt the machine to your work table. For best performance, maintain a razor-sharp blade edge and pull the leather strip through with a steady, smooth, continuous motion.
