Leather Shaving Blades

Shaving is one of the steps in crusting operation after splitting where the flesh side of the hide is shaved to make it attain its uniform desired thickness. The shaving operation is done on a Shaving Machine where Spiral or Helical Shaving Blades or Shaving Strips, fitted on a cylinder is rotated at high speed against the flesh side of the hide to remove the unwanted lees to help the hide attain its uniform and desired thickness. Leather Shaving Blades (or Strips for Shaving Cylinder or Shaving Strips) are used in tanneries for processing of semi-finished hides. Labourcraft is the first company in India manufacturing these Spiral Blades since 1954 for processing of raw hides to help them to attain desired uniform thickness.
