    1 -- question ---what kind of PLANER?-- a std hand held wood planer?

    or the long narrow 5--7mm thick power planer --large or small duty? Bosch

    canyou show me fotos of the scale ---close -up --/source of the scraper tool blade insert
    you ground down from a plner blade?

    the pipe handle&slot/grub bolt are st forward----

    just confused over the piece you clamp in the slot

    most grateful for that super idea -- --

    Sorry for the confusion, Acacia. The blade is one I lopped off of a 8" long jointer blade. Sorry that I called it a planer blade. A friend gave me two or three of these jointer blades that he picked up in a box of stuff at a yard sale. They are 8" long by 3/4" wide. I cut off a piece about 1 1/2 " long with a cutoff blade on a Dremel tool.
    I can adjust the length of the tool shaft by pushing it into the 3/4" pipe handle. The pipe handle has two grub screws to tighten on the tool shaft.
    Hope this clears things up a bit. Again, I'm sorry that I said planer instead of Jointer. Planer blade steel would work also, because they are HSS too.
    That's some mighty good looking wood, and wood turnings!

    Acacia,

    I just stumbled upon a photo of the sort of brazed carbide tool I have been referring to.

    This project was the brazing of a rectangular blank into a steel holder for use as a scraper. The carbide was brazed into place and then the bevel was ground on the front face.





    This kind of diamond sharpener would sharpen the carbide bit.

    See below for tool bits.

    So much timber, so little time.

    thanyou for the help ---Appreciate--

    er --- sorry --- I am not familiar the term " JOINTER"
    I can only assume its a large industrial power tool ? maybe a router?
    or a special power planer blade ---modified to mill out tenon wood joints?

    apologies --I live very rural ---bush w/shop
    ok ---I will google the term JOINTER --- a foto of the blade piece /dimensions/machine
    would clarify ---

    thanyou for the great idea ---the handle part is complete --- just have to get the thickness of the HSS
    Piece that fits into the slot
    grateful
