This size Card Scraper is a very versatile scraper for Woodworking, Woodturning, Leatherwork
and Pyrography. It can replace a stack of sandpaper and can make quick work of smoothing and
leveling a surface. We also have Scrapers also available in 2" - 3" widths and in sets of 3.
Woodturners making pens will find the 50mm size scraper perfect size for getting a pen barrel
level, as it is the right width for a standard 50mm barrel. Makes a much better, level surface
than can be turned prior to final sanding.
When Wood is viewed through a microscope, it shows that wood is made from groups of translucent
tubular cells that run along parallel with the grain. By sanding wood the tubes tear and fill
with dust and sanding abrasive, whilst this is often used to our advantage, it does inhibit
and change the natural light penetration and refraction. This problem was recognised long ago
and traditionally craftsman then used glass as scrapers instead of sanding. As Scrapers offer
a solution to the problem, because they efficiently cut through the tubular cells cleanly,
leaving a cut surface rather than an abraded one, another and noticeable advantage especially
on turned wood, is that a scraper will make a wider flatter surface that is difficult the achieve
through sanding. Woodturner's and Carvers will find the Kidney / Gooseneck scrapers very useful
as they are excellent for the inside of bowls and curved surfaces.
A "must" for woodworkers!
