[crw-talk] Negative rake scrapers

[Robert Patros]

Hi all,

If you are interested in converting your scraper(s) to a negative rake profile, you may want to watch on YouTube “Wood Turning- Beginners Guide #8” by Mike Waldt. It shows how he studied angles then converted most of his scrapers to a negative rake profile.

I had been wanting to do it for a long time, but was afraid I’d screw them up. Waldt tried different angles and came up with what he thought was the best profile. He ground his scrapers  70 degrees for the bottom angle and 30 degrees for the top. He got great results. And, so did I!!!

If you would like to try mine out before you take the leap, come on over. Or, I could bring them to a meeting and we could play with them. Just let me know.
