Product Information:

The Woodsmith cabinet scraper system offers a fool-proof method for getting a consistent, razor-sharp edge using only a few simple tools. The secret is in the Woodsmith jig—a unique tool that lets you file the edge and then create the bur. Cabinet scraper system includes: 3" x 6" steel scraper. sharpening jig with mounting screws. burnishing pin, 10" mill file, and a step-by-step instruction booklet.

  • Slide the scraper along its path to create a perfect 90 degree edge
  • For more aggressive cuts, simply change the position of the file for a perfect 45 degree edge
  • Add the final burr by sliding the scraper against the attached burnishing pin
  • Takes all the guesswork out of sharpening and burnishing cabinet scrapers
  • Quickly and precisely shape the edge of scrapers

    Comments about Woodsmith Scraper Sharpening System :

    I used to clamp a file onto my bench to sharpen my scrapers. It was clumsy at best; hazardous at worst. The Woodsmith scraper sharpening system makes it easy, safe, reliable, and repeatable. I never knew how well a properly sharpened scraper could work. (The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because of the long thumbscrews needed to hold the file in place. It takes a lot of turning to get them set.)

    Comments about Woodsmith Scraper Sharpening System :

    the manufacturer needs to add a second burnishing pin. this may allow the user to do round/ curved scrapers; and it would over come a problem when using one burnishing pin-- it is really hard to work on each end of the scraper; consequently the scraper could creat some nasty tearouts on the wood. Finally I think that in addition to adding a way to work on curved scrapers, the manual needs to be in different languages, engish, spanish and french... Look at the manual for Dremel's accesory products ie. router table,drill press.

    This tool is very effective at turning a burr on all types of scrapers. I just started using scrapers and had a rough time getting the correct burr on them. No now!
