    Default Sharpening an 81

    Hi. I need to sharpen my Stanley 81 (scraper). I have no idea how to do it. Looking at how it was before, the best I can work out is that I should file the end flat and straight, polish and square one edge, bevel the other at about 40degrees, then roll over a hook with a burnisher. Does that sound right ?

    ps. they are a wonderful tool. Buy one if you ever see one.

    thanks

    In addition to Bob's good links and advice, you might first try just a 45 degree bevel without a hook. If this does not cut aggressively enough, then add the hook.

    I am interested in trying out a scraper.

    Where can you buy these from?
    What should you expect to pay?

    I have heard of the Veritas ones as well as Sandvik. I also know that you can get rectangular ones as well as cabinet scrapers that have a range of curves.

    What would a good scraper to dip ones toes in the waters be? (I hope I haven't opened a can of worms here).

    Any other general rules of thumb? (I get the impression that scrapers are mainly for hardwoods - ie avoid softwoods)

    Cheers
