Having trouble with your scraper?
chessieboy:
I cut an old table saw blade with a cutting disk. I got lost from there. Should I sharpen it then flatten it and roll it? After I cut it I made it straight across with a file and could not get a burr. I think the blade may be too thick. Any thoughts, should I just break down and spend the 5.00? I'm cheap!!!
Rich Saffold:
Chessieboy, I like using scrapers cut from table saw blades, and my simple unorthodox method for getting an edge is to run it through the grinder @90deg. with a medium wheel. Depending on how you use it , and the thickness of the saw blade you can pull off thick shavings or fine hair-thickness ones. Use the opposite side of the curl. Often works best flat on surface to about 45 Deg.

In their new catalog, Grizzly Products offers a 6 piece scraper set for $11. Also, An old pair of sissors with the rivet removed makes 2 excellant scrapers. Pat
