Peachtree Woodworking Supply Scraper Burnisher for Creating Sharp Burrs and Honing Card Scrapers 6 inch Steel Rod with Hardwood Handle
Scraper burnishers are a staple in most every woodworkers shop. They are used to create a burr or an edge on card scrapers so that the scrapers can produce clean, smooth wood surfaces by scraping the wood. Most woodworkers love to use scrapers simply because they produce a wonderful looking end result that are beyond compare to most any other device.
This burnisher is simple in design and is made specifically to create burrs on the edges of flat, curved or beveled card scrapers. The steel rod diameter measures approximately 3/8” which makes it perfect for working the edges of your scrapers without any give.
If you have never used a burnisher, it is relatively simple to use. The idea is to roll the edges of your scraper to create a burr so that it produces fine, light shavings and makes the wood surface very smooth. To do this, you simply tilt the burnisher slightly to one side of the scraper and run the burnisher along the edge repeatedly until you produce the burr you are looking for.
Once your scrapers have the desired burr on each edge, you’ll be able to produce wonderful looking results on your wooden surfaces. Scrapers are perfect making your surfaces extra smooth and ready for light sanding for the finishing process. Using card scrapers has long been used by wood craftsman for years and is now becoming more common among beginners and mid level woodworkers.
The burnisher measures approximately 11-1/2 inches in total length and has a hardwood handle with a steel ferrule. It can be used for standard burnishing applications and for working small, tight ends and spaces. The rod is made from hardened steel to withstand burnishing process.
Burnishers are considered to be required tools for woodworkers who use cabinet scrapers on a regular basis. When scrapers have been squared with a file and fine sharpening stone, the hardened steel burnisher allows you to turn over the thin cutting edge that make scrapers operate so effectively. This provides you with a sharp, keen edge to help produce optimum results.
