Description

Due to their blade angle, all cabinet scrapers require significant physical effort to push through the cut. Handle design is therefore absolutely crucial. Taking inspiration from the No.80 style cabinet scrapers, the Melbourne Tool Company have carefully redesigned the shape and position of the cabinet scraper’s handles, optimising the angle of effort and delivering a more efficient, easier action.

Ergonomic Innovation

Careful ergonomic design has created a beautifully balanced and responsive tool. The cork inserts feel good in the palms with no recesses on the underside of the handles. Your fingers curl comfortably under the handle rather than squeezing up under a sharp, concave piece of cast iron. By incorporating soft cork inserts into the handles the sensation of holding the tool is softened and grip is improved. This balance of comfort and control means you can work for hours.

Fine Finish

Cabinet scrapers excel at producing a smooth and fine finish on a workpiece. While the cutting action is similar to that of a card scraper, the flat sole prevents you from creating a divot or depression in the surface.

Easy to Set Up, Quiet and Clean

The carbon steel scraper blade is ground at 45 degrees on both edges and is easy to prepare for work by simply turning a small burr. The blade can be reversed when one edge dulls, while the upper sharp edge is tucked safely behind the body casting, meaning you won’t accidentally cut yourself! A knurled brass knob allows you to set the depth of cut precisely and easily, so you can spend time on your project rather than on your tool.

Unlike power tools such as sanders, cabinet scrapers produce hardly any noise and do not create dust. Perfect when working on fine projects or in spaces where noise and dust need to be minimized.

Environmentally Friendly

Sanding your project through the grits means that your rubbish bin will begin to fill up with used abrasives. Not only does this cost you money, it’s also pretty rough on the environment, using a Cabinet Scraper produces almost zero waste to landfill.

Great quality reasonable price

After receiving the tool, I was pleasantly surprised with the very good quality. The link to sharpening instructions worked well and the instructions were easy to follow, (especially if you had experience with scrapers previously). Delivery was delayed a bit, but the vendor quickly returned my email about delivery status. Overall, a very good tool for a very reasonable price.

Pleasure to use

The cabinet scrapper is a pleasure to use. I have arthritis in my hands a using a card scrapper is not fun. It is so much easier using the cabinet scrapper. It leaves a very smooth surface. I would recommend this cabinet scrapper to everyone.

Truly impressed

I received your cabinet scraper and immediately took it out of its very nice packaging and disassembled it so that I could wipe off any manufacturing residue and sharpen it - like I do with all new woodworking tools. The tool was not "gobbed" with excess grease, like so many other manufacturers do with their tools, so it was easy to perform a thorough cleaning. The sharpening was also easy as the blade came nicely made and pre-sharpened - so only needed the final tweaking to get it ready to go. It feels great in my hands as I use it and I am truly impressed with how comfortable it is while doing a great job. I'm also impressed with the form fitted foam inserts that are part of the packaging as I now use them in my storage cabinet drawers to store my Melbourne tools. Very nice extra touch from a company that makes truly solid, well engineered tools.

I have not used the tool yet

I have not used the tool yet but i have high hopes that it will produce smooth surfaces in difficult grain.

Looking forward to using

I only turned the edge and tired it on a piece of scrap but it worked better than the Stanley 80 with a Hock blade. No chattering. Looking forward to using on a real project.

Will be worth every penny

I've yet to purchase this tool but please continue reading....

Times being what they are $$$ this looks like a great tool. What I mean is I'm looking a scraper planes and good ones from Veritas. Pricey yes.

So in the interim this will be a great way to close the gap between scraping by hand ( ouch ) and the actuall price of that scraper plane!

Not as good as trumpeted

The blade is barely captured by the knurled screws, and that allows the blade to tilt while trying to set it up. The blade should be as wide as the holding screws so it can't tilt. The blurb says 'easy to set up', but it is not.
Also what does 'turn a small burr' mean? how is that best achieved.?
