JMG Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Nope, sorry. This is another one of those tools that was designed for a single use. Probably why it did not stay in their catalog for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's an old tool, think of old methods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 This tool is in one of those better idea classes that always seem to end up being somewhat mediocre at their intended purpose. Any woodworker who starts making furniture using the old methods would have found a simpler way, with existing tools, to do the job that this item does. The process of maintaining some hand tools require multi-step processes, and the tool that this one is used on is king in that department and requires some skill mastery in it's own right. It's not the easy button of tools, but when looking for the absolute best finish results, it kicks the shit out of using sandpaper. All the hints rolled into one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert.amantea Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I was assuming JMG meant that it doesn't sharpen any knives at all from his previous post.... does that include the two above as well?A cabinet scraper is not a knife in any form. It is basically a rectangular piece of steel with a drawn burr meant to smooth the surface of wood.

Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks" Correct. It is used in the process of sharpening a scraper. Specifically it is used to debur and square the edge prior to polishing the edge.
