Talk:Skiving (leathercraft)

Which technology?
''Products using this technology directly are automotive seatbelt springs, large power transformer winding strip, rotogravure plates, cable and hose clamps, gas tank straps, and window counterbalance springs. Products using the process indirectly are tubes and pipe mills where the edge of the strip is accurately beveled prior to being folded into tubular form and seam welded. The finished edges enable pinhole free welds.''

What is "this technology"? Skiving, or the floating suspension technology?

I just can't get a picture in mind, especially as most of the products mentioned don't seem to be leather products. Or is the term skiving also applied to processes involving flat strips and sheets of other materials besides leather?

 * I think it is talking about skiving as applied to other materials besides leather. It should probably be removed as this article is "Skiving (leathercraft)" Adamjoyce1 (talk) 18:50, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

I took the liberty of removing the following text as it does not pertain to leatherworking: "Products using this technology[which?] directly are automotive seatbelt springs, large power transformer winding strips, rotogravure plates, cable and hose clamps, gas tank straps, and window counterbalance springs. Products using the process indirectly are tubes and pipe mills where the edge of the strip is accurately beveled prior to being folded into tubular form and seam welded.[clarification needed] The finished edges enable pinhole free welds."Adamjoyce1 (talk) 18:52, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
