Narex Set of Cabinet Scrapers 854100

Used since centuries, cabinet scrapers have been an effective tool for carpentry work such as smoothing wood surfaces and removing old paint.  Also known as card scrapers, the scrapers are hand held and used to smooth all types of wood and are especially suitable for pieces prone to tear-out, for example curly maple or crotch mahogany.

These scrapers are able to produce an extremely smooth surface and whisper thin shavings on both flat and shaped surfaces.   

The scrapers are made from high-carbon steel, hardened, with a polished surface and available in three different shapes:

•  Rectangular (4 flat sides),
• Concave/convex (2 flat sides, 1 concave/convex end)
•  Gooseneck(multi-radius).  

There are advantages to using scrapers instead of sandpaper, such as:

• You can produce a superior finish quickly without compromising crisp details in mouldings or the edges and corners of flat surfaces.
• You can also produce a subtle texture on large flat surfaces much like hand planning that cannot be recreated by sanding.

Keeping your scrapers sharpened is critical to effective results.  We recommend purchasing a Narex Burnisher.
