A belt skiving apparatus is provided having a free-standing blade-carrying carriage mounting a pair of rollers defining a nip into which a belt end to be skived is passed. The rollers press together about the belt end to securely grip the belt, with at least one of the rollers being driven, preferably manually, through a crank arm. Rotation of the rollers advances the carriage relative to the belt to advance the carriage across the width of the belt. As the carriage is advanced, the belt is passed through the rollers and through a cutting blade disposed adjacent the rollers, with the blade slicing a thin strip of the upper portion of the belt adjacent its upper face from the remainder of the belt. The rollers may be driven by a ratchet arm to move the carriage along the belt end. Preferably, two pairs of rollers are employed on the carriage, one forward and one rearward of the blade to cut the uncut portion remaining at the trailing side of the belt after the belt passes through the forward roller pair. An adjustable fence can be employed for selective variability of the width of the cut from the belt. A quick-acting cam operated by a lever locks the adjustable fence in various positions for different widths of cuts. |
