Edge Beveling / Skiving: Material Removal And Edge Preparation For Leather And Flexible Materials
Edge beveling — also known as skiving — is a preparation operation that consists of chamfering the edge of a leather or flexible material piece by removing a thin layer of material on the flesh side. This precise edge splitting facilitates the following operations — folding, edge turning, assembly — and guarantees clean, consistent finishes across the entire production run.
Our Types Of Edge Beveling / Skiving Machines
To meet the needs of leather goods, saddlery and footwear production, we distribute GALLI skiving machines — a long-standing Suteau-Anver partner for several decades.
The single-side skiving machine model RCB BAG is supplied with a knife adapted to your production from delivery. It integrates an optional groove kit (rainette), whose depth and width relative to the material edge are fully adjustable. This machine is designed for precise edge beveling and skiving of edges, belts and strips in leather and other flexible materials, in both leather goods and saddlery applications.
The GALLI range covers edge skiving of edges, belts and strips in general, for leather goods, saddlery and all associated flexible materials. Suteau-Anver provides distribution of the full range, advice on machine selection, commissioning by technicians trained in leather crafts, and GALLI spare parts held in stock to ensure continuity of your production.
The Advantages Of Edge Beveling / Skiving Machines
Precise material removal: the depth and width of the skive are finely adjustable, delivering a consistent chamfer from one piece to the next, regardless of production volume.
Downstream process gains: a correctly prepared edge facilitates edge turning, reduces thickness at assembly points and improves the final appearance of the finished product.
Material adaptability: leather, synthetic leather, technical flexible materials — the knife adapts to the nature and thickness of the material being processed.
Full support: spare parts in stock and specialist technicians for fast commissioning and reactive after-sales service.
As the official French distributor of GALLI, Suteau-Anver supports you from machine selection through to installation, operator training and after-sales service, with GALLI spare parts available in stock for immediate dispatch.
