@clydeulmer44845 жыл бұрын
Excellent exposition, Mike. Given the manifold advantages of negative rake scrapers I see no need to use anything else. I sharpen my scrapers with a 30 degree top bevel and 40 degree bottom. That's in large part because I use Stuart Batty's 40/40 grind on my gouges and I don't have to change the platform. Lazy :-) I've found that I need use only a carbide burnisher on the best of modern HHS tools (e.g. M42 & CPM10V). To get my "final pass" burr, I'll polish the top bevel with a diamond card to completely remove the burr before using the burnisher. On really hard woods this leaves a glass-like finish. Clyde

Very informative, Mike. I have been turning for over 50 years, and have never used Negative Rake Scrapers. In fact I have only started to use "regular" scrapers a few years back. When I first started turning , way back in the day, (High school), the shop teacher told us that that was "cheating. That if our tools were sharp we would not have to resort to using them". So I never learned them. That old boy is dead now so I can use anything I want! Thanks for the info.

This is a 1.75” round nose whopper set at 35/35. With the handle it’s a prodigious 2.5’ long. Once on the rest at the right angle the finish is amazingly good and I can start at 240 grit.

When you have the camera zoomed in to see detail it is very hard to keep the subject in the viewing frame. Similarly when you rotate the workpiece to show tear out or other surface detail please slow the rotation a bit. All in all this was an excellent presentation. Very educational.

Hello Mike, I always use a NRS inside my hollowed items, and a few years back was puzzled that they were so rarely mentioned. At school, nearly 70y ago, the one edge tool we used was a short handled NRS (I guess for safety), so I might have been conditioned to their selection, especially as they are so versatile. I have even considered putting a negative rake on my bedan (actually a 5/8" mortise chisel) which can be pretty aggressive. Thanks for all the detail. Bernard.

@glennmay62045 жыл бұрын
Hello Mike, Many thanks for another very useful class. I am sometimes a little torn between choosing a standard or negative rake blade and while the negative rake has a major forgiving benefit, it's the complication of grind angles that feels like a faff. Being lazy as I am, I tend to grind the underside to a chosen angle and when in use, on external faces, simply raise the handle, (lower the cutting edge), to a comfortable preference. I think a negative rake side scraper is for me, a must inside boxes and bowls as I need a lot of forgiving. On a final point, would you agree that a relief bevel is all that is necessary and that further grinds need only be to the underside until the relief wears out. I only ask because I see many that look more like a Skew chisel and I wonder if there's a reason to remove so much steel from the cutting end of the blade? Regards, Glenn. :-)
@MikeWaldt5 жыл бұрын
Hi Glenn, there is no doubt that everyone has there preferred method of whatever we do. I just find the NR scraper right for me, once the grind has been established, it merely needs a quick hone with a diamond card to restore the edge, the same as a standard scraper. I just find the NR more forgiving and it suits me well. I totally agree with your final point, however I mainly hone and only visit the grinder when a reshape is needed. Thanks for watching and your input, always a pleasure my friend. Take care Mike
