The result was super - a super hint for a beginner like me. I've watched several of your videos and I've always learned something new. Take care - Peder

Thanks Mike. This was the second time I watched this video. I tried to grind a scraper after the first watch ( about a month ago I think ) and it didn't work for me. I decided to watch the Wyoming Woodturner to see if he did anything different. He recommended your video, so I just watched again. I'll try again tomorrow with more precise angles this time. Thanks for your videos. I watch every one of them.

Hi, Mike. Just acquired my first 3/4" half round scraper and ground it to a NRS...wow, works so beautifully. Just finished the left end of a large cove with it and it left a very nice finish needing little sanding...nice shavings and little dust. Thanks for your great instructional videos for new turners.

Many thanks Mike for yet another great instructional video and you've certainly persuaded to me try and adopt it. I could even see the reflection of the scrapers on the wood which says a lot. I'm looking forward to your next upload which you say will be on the skew. I think most turners have an initial fear of the skew due to the spectacular catches you can get but I think I've passed through that stage and am getting my confidence with it. I must say that the KZitem wood turning channel has to be one of the best as we can learn so much from some of the best turners imaginable and who, like yourself, give so much of their time and also enjoy a bit of good-natured banter. With all good wishes, Alan.

I think my problem was coming off the grinder and dipping the scraper too low. The scraper bur was cutting grooves. Watching you as you rubbed the bevel and slowly lifted the handle to start the cut. Guess I forgot the ABC's. Anchor, bevel and cut.

I've seen and read alot about negative rake scrapers but had no idea that 'BOTH' the top and bottom angles had to be ground or created to make a 'negative rake'! Thanks so much for taking your time to create this series, it is excellent and I'm sure, I'm not the only 'newbie' that has learned alot from them! Please consider a video on replaceable 'carbide tip' tools as it seems there is quite a bit of confusion on how to use them properly. Safe turning to you always!

I noticed a hardwood scraper by Robert Sorby ,I believe, available at Packard Woodworks (108738). What I noticed about it compared to your setup was that the actual cutting edge fell below the center line of the tools thickness, about 1/3rd up from the bottom. I kind of imagine this creates a "rudder" like effect, rather than the tool "nosing in" if you catch my drift. Maybe helping eliminate hangup. Check it out and see what you think. Thanks for helping me learn to turn Mike!

Niles Williamson Hi Niles, I have seen the Sorby, and think that experimentation is the key to find the angles that work best for your turning style, and the job at hand. Thanks for the information, and input. Take care Mike

Hi Mike, it looks like I have to set one grinder to 70 and the other to 30° and job done. Another great video here and waiting for the next to show. As newbies might be interrested in turning, it might be a good idea on showing wood types not to be put on the lathe. Cracks and stuff... I learned my lesson 3 weeks ago after 9 stitches in my forehead and a broken nose depite the full face helmet! I got hit with about 850revs with a 1,5kg oak piece. No need for others to learn the hard way. It's no fun ;-)

Correct Paul, that's what I did on the one grinder, set each table to those angles. once that's done I just kept the one table at 70°, as only that bevel needs a touch up, or I used the diamond hone :). Hope you recovering OK, that must have been a shock mate, I had it happen when I started out, but luckily it was only a mushroom, and it missed :). Good idea regarding the video, I might well do that, providing I survive my next, and last beginners guide video on the Skew .....lol Thanks for your support mate Take care Mike

True, but rather having both wheels of a grinder dedicated to the negative rake scrapers, it's not a problem to change a 70* to a 30* because you don't have to sharpen the 30* as often.

Once again, Mike very nice job. I have never used a negative rake scraper, but I'll start just as soon as I can grind one. Have you ever done a video on your grinding procedures? If so, I missed it and think it would be a great help. Thanks again.

Thanks so much, Mike! I tried grinding on my own and came up with the dullest scraper I've ever seen! Now I've watched your video and feel like I can go out and grind using more appropriate angles and expect I will have exactly what I need. Great job! EDIT! So I went to the shop all confident and everything, got my Wixie electronic angle finder setting on the tool rest and tried to set 70 degrees. No way in hell! I know I must be doing something wrong but what? Help Mike! I feel so stupid for such an old guy. I know I could just eyeball it, but if there is some good way to set an angle, I'd love to know what it is.

I realize this is several years past now Mike but I've never caught it. The thing is we have various angles that we grind on our chisels, perhaps you could demo how to find these angles. I have a Tormek setup on my white wheels and it does the same thing as a Wolverine. My platform is setup with a Wixey Digital Angle Gauge but since everything is round I really have no way of knowing what "Angle" I'm putting on a any tool. My gouges are the worst, way too many bevels on them and I don't understand how to get them back to the original grind. They're sharp and they work so I use them they simply don't work as they're supposed to. Frustrated and thanks for the great video. Brad

Mike, I know I have watched this before, but couldn't remember if I had commented or not. I was looking at the Sorby version that has an 80/25 or so bevel, and was going to ask them, but this came up right after theirs. My question was about 'are you rubbing the bevel and pretty much doing a peeling type cut on bowls?' Looks like that answer is yes... Strange to me is the amount of time you get from your burr. If I was using an acute version, like 30/30 bevels, then I would have gotten about 10% of the cutting time you got. So, trying to figure out if the steeper bevel leaves a stronger burr or not. I have always thought that if you hand hone across the bevel, rather than up and down, then you are almost burnishing a burr onto the edge. I have found that with the more blunt bevel angles that the burnished burr seems to work better and last longer than the grinder burrs, and you can burnish it down then back up a couple of times before you have to take it back to the grinder.The metal does make a difference too. Are you using M2? I pretty much only use M42 or V10.

+robohippy Hi Reed, so sorry for the late response, it has been manic. I'm no way as experienced as you with any scraper, bu with this configuration I merely ride the bevel, lift the handle and away it goes. The edge doesn't last all that long, but much longer than another I have with the acute angles you talked about. Hope you're keeping well my friend. Cheers Mike PS The steel is just standard HSS by the way.

Like a buddy of mine said, "I have been running around like a blind dog in the butcher shop." That is a new method that I never saw for using the NRS. Just never considered that approach of using a peeling type cut. Have to try it out and see how it works. I think this variation of the NRS would do very well with a burnished burr. Cheers!

As a beginner I was surprised that you said that your edge only lasted a minute. That might explain my struggles to make progress. My bench grinder is easily to hand so there is no excuse not to maintain a sharp edge. After all I maintain my bench chisels with sharp edges, but then I think that it is easier to know when they are blunting. One question though, the grindstone is moving down when it meets the tool, surely to raise a burr the stone should move TOWARDS the cutting edge. Or so my metal work experience says.

Hi Bill, I agree that in theory what you say is right, but I assure you that a burr is raised when a grinder is used, or a linisher style system like my Sorby Pro Edge. If you try it yourself you will be able to feel the burr. Hope this helps Cheers Mike

I experimented today with a little round nosed scraper (conventional grind). I could feel a burr when the wheel was used moving away from the tool edge and it certainly cut well. I was shaping a button on top of a bowl lid and needed a delicate cut which went well. So I’d like to sharpen a tool with the burred edge towards the direction of the wheel. But it is a little tricky with the grindstone travelling towards me. But a brief experiment did show that a larger burr is raised. Whether that is sharper or longer lasting is to be determined. It is also not at all easy to get a good angle. Maybe the wheel should turn the other way, that is upwards as it meets the tool. But I was an aircraft engineer so anything is possible. Will let you know.
