Jim;
A Chinese copy of the German made leather skiver is available from Tandy Leather for $200.00. I bought the same Chinese skiver some years back on eBay for $90.00. These Chinese skivers require that you carefully ensure everything in the various adjustments are put right and work properly. You are a craftsman and can do it.
https://tandyleather.com/collections/machines/products/tandypro-skiving-machine.I looked on eBay and cannot find the cheaper leather skiver, but I am going to pull up my old purchases from eBay and see if I can find who I bought my skiver from and if I do I will add it to this post.
Kind regards;
Stephen Howell
