I was at an auction the other day and I bid on a tool up to 65 $. Not real sure IF it was a woodworking tool or not…….. I will try to describe it..
First of all I would call it a bench mouted draw knife .??
It was about 6 “ wide with a FIXED DRAW KNIFE LIKE blade facing away from you!
Underneath a 7/8” (ADJUSTABLE up and down) ROLLER.. ( like for the depth of cut….) with finger screws….
ALL CASTED IN TO ONE SOLID UNIT made to fasten to a bench / table = A casted ANGLE IRON base about 2” DOWN AND 2” BACK. A factory made unit.
IN front when you looked at it , inset were 2 thin metal straps running outward from the center only about 5/16 wide ..??
IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE YOU WOULD PUT A PIECE OF WOOD ,BRANCH OR SOMETHING AND PULL IT TWARDS YOU = THE ROLLER WOULD STOP IT FROM GOING TO DEEP.
DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT I SEEN.
?

Greetings rf,

Welcome to LJ, you’re gonna like it here.

Bidding at auction for something you know little or nothing about, mmm.
You can send $65. checks over here anytime. I’ll even reimburse postage.

In trying to translate even your excellent description, the old saying must be invoked: One picture is worth a thousand words.

Look forward to reading your comments and seeing your projects.

Cheers and all the best,

Peter

Sound like a bench mounted leather skiver to me. Used to thin belt strips etc.

Glad to see you took the time to respond. I don’t mind advice on my wood working but not on how or what I spend my money on. If I had a picture I would have sent it. I took a lot of time writing up the description . That was the best I could do.

This is a leather splitter. It might be what you saw.
