StewMac Ultimate Scraper Original – Professional Guitar Wood Smoothing Scraper – Pro Luthier & Guitar Tech Tool

It's the best scraper we've ever used!Revolutionary tools, unsurpassed for smoothing wood surfaces, arched instrument tops, bindings and more.For an ultra-smooth wood surface, nothing beats a good sharp scraper. Veteran luthier Al Carruth has given the simple scraper a revolutionary makeover, with practical improvements for stringed instrument work: the original Ultimate Scraper. We added a second mini version that's popular for working in tighter areas.Go for the rectangle/concave scraper when you need to keep a good, tight, square corner in binding channels and neck pockets. Also great for smoothing bindings and many steps of making a new neck. Thanks to renowned bass luthier Michael Tobias for suggesting this new shape!Refined shapes are superior for arched tops and flat or curved surfaces.1/8" thickness adds stiffness and greatly reduces chatter.Two working edges for scraping with both pull and push strokes.Durable tempered steel edges, for smoothing harder woods.At 1/8" thick, Ultimate scrapers are much beefier than standard scraper blades. Two cutting edges let the tool work in both directions, without flexing and with less chattering. That saves a lot of time and effort! The tempered tool steel holds a more durable edge, too. The shapes are specially refined for hand-contouring and graduating arched instrument tops and backs, as well as smoothing bindings and flat surfaces.Dimensions#103469 Original: 3-3/4" x 1-11/16" (95.25mm x 42.86mm)
