Scraper Plane Results Question
I have read in an article that some people can obtain a "glass-like"
finish using a scraper plane (e.g. Stanley #112). I can use my #112 to avoid tearout issues, but the results are not as smooth as a regular plane. Do you find that you can get a better finish with a #5 or a scraper plane? If you get a better result with the scraper plane, do you have any tips you can share? Thanks. |

This should be the last planing your doing with the scraper plane if you
dont get a better finish with scraping i would guess that your scraper is not sharpened properly. wrote in message oups.com...

Well, I will keep experimenting with the sharpening to see if I can get
better results.

Sharpen carefully and adjust the tilt the blade to scrape perfect fuzzies. I adjust mine on the granite block with a dollar bill lifting one end and setting the blade to just touch the granite. http://www.lie-nielsen.com/catalog.php?sku=112 Dave |
