Scraper Sharpener???

[DougW]

Was looking for another item at Tognar and saw this. Couldn't you make this with two boards like 5 mm apart and an aggressive file below?

Could you? Probably.
All I know is I will never NOT have a scraper sharpener.

Yes, Panzar file clamped to the bench.

for years i just used a file, its not that hard to more or less hold the scraper at 90 degree on the file but now I got one made by swix, it screws to the bench and its red

faster eh

I use drywall sand paper on the workbenches and just eyeball it close to vertical. Works pretty well.

I have a bunch of old stones that have proved useful for this purpose.

Panzar as well....

This right here.

Sandpaper and like a piece of wood or angle bracket or something to slide against for the angle.

If you tune a lot of skis and don't do anything else in your shop I suppose it makes sense. A vise (everyone should have one) and a flat file (likewise) will do a fine job of sharpening a scraper and a lot more. I try to avoid tools that only do one thing, although sometimes it can't be helped, or I don't want to help it if the tool is cool enough (mostly planes).

I relate to this strongly.

Panzer clamped to a 0 degree or 1 degree bevel guide - they're already sitting in my tool basket.

Is it time for the Q&P video yet? "2/3 sidewall, 1/3 edge ... that ought to be 3 degrees."

Me ... any old file up against a vertical surface. An 88 degree angle is no better or worse than a perfect 90.

I used to do this but the paper gums up and becomes less effective.

Last year I bought a panzer file and I'm eyeballing the angle and its SOOOO much better!

Might make some sort of jig for it to get more vertical as well.

Panzer laid on bench w/ tang backed up to something solid. No clamp, no guide. All you need is a smooth edge, it doesn't need 90

I have this one. Nothing special but it works pretty well. Think I paid around $12 for it a few years ago. Can definitely just use a file, but this was cheap and seems to get the job done.

Why bother with that or files or sandpaper when you could get one of these.......

I worked in a shop that had one of these, we would burn through scrapers from the frequent sharpening.

Drywall sanding screen taped to a bench... use a block of wood as a guide if you must. Cheapest, most efficient way to sharpen a scraper. I’ve used every method and device under the sun, nothing comes close in my book.

I had the red Swix sharpener on my bench and after several years the file would not keep a sharp edge on the scraper.

A new scraper is $6-8. You can by 6-8 scrapers for the price if that non-electric Toko. Your choice.

You just going to toss the scraper when edge gets ragged? Happens pretty quick.
Use a file card on your file. Can't see plastic wearing out a file.
Also, lexan can be bought by the sheet and cut your own.
Always good to have a small scraper whilst touring...

I have the red one (obviously) and found every once in a while knocking out the file and cleaning it well is essential. good as new after that.

And then a couple weeks later you have 6-8 dull scrapers and we're back to the original premise of this thread
