Set of three rectangular cabinet scrapers in stiff carbon steel (saw steel), 0.8 mm thick, in the sizes 6 x 3", 5 x 2 1/2" and 4 x 2".
Set of three rectangular cabinet scrapers from Lynx, a Thomas Flinn range. The scrapers are made from stiff carbon steel, the same type of steel used for saw blades, and are pulled or pushed across the wood to leave a smooth surface without tear-out.
They are supplied ready to use. When the edge goes dull, raise the burr again with a burnisher, such as the Lynx Burnishing Tool (LBS), sold separately.
The set contains:
1 scraper 152 x 76 mm (6 x 3")
1 scraper 127 x 64 mm (5 x 2 1/2")
1 scraper 102 x 51 mm (4 x 2")
Steel thickness 0.8 mm (0.032"). Supplied in a blister pack.
A card scraper is a thin steel plate that scrapes smooth surfaces, especially on difficult wood. It is sharpened in three steps: the edge is filed straight, honed smooth and then turned into a small burr with a burnisher. The burr is what cuts.
When the scraper stops making shavings, you can often turn the burr again with the burnisher. The guide shows it step by step.
