The leather has to get the desired thickness in the tannery. First the skin is split. Later, it is shaved on the shaving machine by spirally arranged knives from the flesh side to the appropriate thickness. The fibres are plane down. The splitting is the coarse work and the folding the fine work to achieve the desired thickness of the leather.

The shaved leather fibres remain. These are pressed and go e.g. in waste incineration. Shaved leather fibres are also used for the production of bonded leather.
