Shear scraping is a recently enhanced method of woodturning which relies on the presentation of the scraper at a shear angle. The technique offers some significant advantages over conventional scrapers.
45° Shear Scrapers - The 3/8" square shank sits firmly on the tool rest and presents the cutter at a 45° angle to the workpiece when used in either direction. This is due to the unique cutter seating position. Each tip can be re-positioned several times before re-sharpeining becomes necessary.
- At the optimum angle of 45°, the slicing action is safer and produces a superior finish.
- Sanding is often unnecessary.
- The risk of the cutter digging-in is virtually eliminated.
