Simple Scraper VI - inside wall shaping, and bottom finishing regardless of how project is held. (12" length)

With four cutter choices (2 oval and 2 rectangle) suitable for nearly any project or material!

What are the benefits of this tool?

  • The widest and most unique carbide scraper on the market is now available in a longer length for reaching inside hollow forms!
  • When combined with the 17" long foam grip handle, this becomes a beefy 26.5" long tool ideal for great leverage and control.
  • Recommended to bundle with our flat scraper tool rest to minimize tool overhang and improve surface finishing.
  • This tool works in the Simple Hollowing System for extended reach vs Simple Scraper III.
  • Beneficial on every project from small pens to large bowls and everything in between because you can shape and finish with a single tool.

  • Quickly remove tool marks and create silky smooth profile transitions between inside and outside curves, as well as straight wave free lines.
     
  • Makes a perfectly flat bottom with a smooth transition to the foot using the oval cutter, or a square corner using the rectangular cutter.

  • Creates a smooth finish with much less tearout and minimal sanding.

 Why are there different cutters?

Oval Cutters:

The oval cutter is great for shaping and finishing, combining the usefulness of a square AND round cutter into a single tool.  

  1. Oval cutter (for wood)- The oval cutters are perfect for virtually any curved shape imaginable especially on the outside of your project.

  2. Oval negative rake cutter (for epoxy/resin, hybrid and wood)- Like the oval cutter but the negative rake grind also makes this cutter less aggressive. This reduces chipping in very hard materials (epoxy/resin), can reduce tear out in softer materials and provides a great finish in both man-made materials and harder woods. Because the negative rake grind is less aggressive, many people find it easier to use.

Rectangular Cutters:

The rectangular cutters make it simple to create square inside corners, beads and straight lines. Perfect for the inside and outside base of any project. 

  1. Rectangle cutter (for wood)- This cutter shines on the outside of bowls, hollow forms, vases, platers, and wooden pen blanks. You'll also love it for simple spindle work too. Another place you’ll love this cutter is on the inside of a box.

  2. Rectangle negative rake cutter (for epoxy/resin, hybrid and wood)- Like the rectangle insert but the negative rake grind makes this cutter less aggressive. This reduces chipping in very hard materials, can reduce tear out in softer materials and provides a great finish in both man-made materials and harder woods. Because the negative rake grind is less aggressive, many people find it easier to use.

How Do I Use the Simple Scraper?

  • Position the tool rest as close to the work as possible so the carbide cutter is at the lathe center line.
  • Place the tool on the tool rest with the tool shaft parallel with the floor.
  • While securely holding the tool slowly move the carbide cutter into the work.
