What causes these lines when skiving?
Recently noticed my bell skiver leaves more emphasized lines from each pass. This is soft french goat skin that started at 1.3mm~ skived down to around 0.8mm-0.6mm.

I'm not saying this will solve your problem but whenever I use my machine for splitting I keep the sharpening wheel lightly engaged throughout the split. I've found that it makes for more consistent split across the whole piece.
It's common to see the lines between each row, but like Fadi says, as long as the thickness is uniform it matters not.
The bottom skive as some tearout though, possibly from skiving too much thickness at once, a dulling blade or pulling up too much as you feed it through. A lot of variables involved.
Hello,
all skiver to that (well 99% unless you custom machine your presser foot), the most important thing is that the thickness of that line is not more (or less) than the rest of the skin.
There was another post on this forum discussing this, but I cannot find it.
