New-Tech GC-801
is a high-precision industrial skiving machine designed to thin the edges or surfaces of leather, synthetic leather, and rubber materials. By reducing the thickness of the material (skiving), you can create clean folds, seamless joints, and professional-grade edges on items like wallets, bags, and shoes. Unlike manual skivers, the GC-801 uses a high-speed rotating circular blade and a feed roller to ensure a uniform, smooth cut every time, regardless of the leather's density.
- Precision Edge Thinning: Effortlessly thin leather edges from a wide bevel to a feather-thin taper for perfect folding and bonding.
- Adjustable Skiving Width: Easily customize the width of the skive up to 2 inches (50mm) to suit various project requirements.
- Fortuna-Style Circular Blade: Uses a high-quality, ultra-sharp circular knife that can be resharpened with the built-in sharpening stone.
- Waste Removal System: Features an integrated scrap-clearing mechanism to prevent leather shavings from clogging the blade or feed roller.
- Silent Servo Motor: The 110V electronic servo motor allows for "stitch-by-stitch" speed control, which is vital for delicate skiving on thin or expensive skins.
- Built-in Blade Sharpening: Equipped with an adjustable grinding wheel to maintain a razor-sharp edge without removing the blade.
- Machine Type: Industrial Leather Skiver (Fortuna Style)
- Max Skiving Width: 2" (50mm)
- Blade Speed: 1,000 – 1,200 RPM (Controlled via Servo Motor)
- Sharpening Stone: Built-in adjustable grinding wheel
- Feed Roller: Hardened steel (Optional stone or rubber rollers available)
- Motor: 110V Electronic Servo Motor (Energy Efficient)
- Table Type: Industrial laminate with reinforced steel K-leg stand
The GC-801 is an indispensable tool for high-end leather goods production:
- Footwear: Thinning leather for shoe uppers, counters, and linings.
- Small Leather Goods: Feathering edges for folded wallets, cardholders, and watch straps.
- Handbags: Creating smooth seams for handles, gussets, and strap attachments.
- Belts & Straps: Thinning the buckle-end of belts for a flush, professional finish.

JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs
What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?
The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.
Where does the machine oil go?
A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.
What kind of oil does this machine require?
You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.
What size table can I get with this machine?
Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.
Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?
No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.
