Description of Versatile Fulton Burnisher: Multi Shaped Rectangle Gooseneck for Enhanced Cleaning
Scraper burnishers are a staple in most every woodworkers shop. They are used to create a burr or an edge on card scrapers so that the scrapers can produce clean, smooth wood surfaces by scraping the wood. Most woodworkers love to use scrapers simply because they produce a wonderful looking end result that are beyond compare to most any other device. This burnisher is simple in design and is made specifically to create burrs on the edges of flat, curved or beveled card scrapers. The hardened, polished high carbon HRC 62-64 steel rod measures approximately 3/8 inch in diameter which makes it perfect for working the edges of your scrapers without any give. The hardwood handle gives you a comfortable firm grip and helps provide leverage when placing pressure on the scraper. The 6 included scrapers are made from a strong carbon steel and come in various shapes for a wide variety of applications. The three rectangle scrapers of various thicknesses in this pack will work for the vast majority of your projects. The curved (convex and concave curves), gooseneck and beveled scrapers are ideal for working oddly shaped pieces like chairs, spindles, boxes and more. If you have never used a burnisher, it is relatively simple to use. The idea is to roll the edges of your scraper to create a burr so that it produces fine, light shavings and makes the wood surface very smooth. To do this, you simply tilt the burnisher slightly to one side of the scraper and run the burnisher along the edge repeatedly until you produce the burr you are looking for. Once your scrapers have the desired burr on each edge, you’ll be able to produce wonderful looking results on your wooden surfaces. Scrapers are perfect making your surfaces extra smooth and ready for light sanding for the finishing process. We highly recommend burnishing each scraper out of the box for optimum performance. Also included is a handy booklet on “How to Sharpen a Card Scraper Using A Burnisher” to get you started right out of the box.
