05K3501 - Veritas Scraper Burnisher
This tool turns scrapers into cutting tools. Turners who are used to using scrapers with a grinder burr will be amazed at the difference a smooth edge-hook can make. After grinding a scraper, you just deburr the flat face and roll a hook onto the edge. The pressure you use determines the size of the hook.
Two 1" long carbide burnishing rods are supplied. One is ground at 10° for burnishing scrapers with bevels of 70° or 75°, and the other is ground at 5° to burnish 75° to 80° bevel angles.
Since the burnisher (clamped in a vise or screwed to a lathe stand) lets you use your entire body for leverage, you can even put hooks on HSS scrapers, something not possible with any other burnisher.
Easy to use, includes full instructions. Designed for use with either full-size or miniature tools.
Made of aluminum, steel and carbide. 4 1/2" long by 2 5/8" wide.
Made in Canada. Patented.
A burnished hook is produced by cold-working the steel with a harder tool, which creates a denser, stronger burr than grinding. A burnished hook lasts longer between touch-ups and produces a smoother, more consistent cut than a grinder burr, which tends to be fragile and uneven.
The 10° rod is for burnishing scrapers with bevels of 70° or 75°. The 5° rod is for scrapers with 75° to 80° bevels. Both rods are included with the burnisher.
Yes. Because the burnisher is clamped in a vise or screwed to a lathe stand, you can use your full body weight for leverage, which generates enough force to roll a hook onto HSS scrapers. This is not possible with conventional hand-held burnishers.
The two included carbide rods cover bevel angles from 70° to 80°. The 10° rod handles 70° to 75° bevels; the 5° rod handles 75° to 80° bevels.
Yes. The Veritas Scraper Burnisher for Turners is designed for both full-size and miniature turning tools, making it versatile across a range of lathe work.
