Q: What does a scraper burnisher do?
After a scraper has been filed and honed square, a burnisher drawn along the edge with controlled pressure deforms the steel slightly to create a tiny cutting hook, or burr, along its edge.
70M2101 - Accu-Burr Burnishing Rod
By varying the hook angle burnished onto the edge of a cabinet scraper, you can alter its cutting action to suit the application. Unlike a conventional burnisher, this innovative carbide burnisher has three precision-ground V-shaped grooves, each of which rolls precise, repeatable hooks at a specific angle.
Using only light force, you just draw it flat along the edge and the V-grooves take care of the angle for you, forming symmetrical hooks on both sides of the scraper edge at the same time. You can choose a 5° hook angle for fine work, 10° for moderate scraping, or 15° for aggressive action.
Effective on any shape of scraper from 0.010" to 0.100" thick, it can also function as a conventional burnisher by using the ungrooved portion of the 3/16" diameter rod.
The 3" rod can be used as is, or you can add your own handles. The same rod is also available fitted with turned brass handles.

After a scraper has been filed and honed square, a burnisher drawn along the edge with controlled pressure deforms the steel slightly to create a tiny cutting hook, or burr, along its edge.
Draw the rod flat along the scraper's edge using light force. The V-shaped grooves roll a precise, repeatable hook onto both sides of the edge at the same time. This rod lets you choose a 5° hook for fine work, 10° for moderate scraping or 15° for aggressive removal.
The hook is what cuts fine shavings from the wood. Without it, the scraper is more likely to rub or produce dust rather than take clean, controlled shavings.
