HI all
I was wondering where members use scrapers and scraper planes?
I have been considering going down this road (especially since Alf's recent review) but can't really identify any advantage.
I guess that you use it on twisted grains and knotted wood where one gets breakout from a hand plane but I simply run over these with a belt sander at present which works fine.
I do rather like the 'glow' left after hand planing as opposed to the dull mat finish after sanding - is this the only true advantage of scraping over sanding?
In short, why scrape?
WOuld appreciate quick answers as I am ordering a few goodies later today and might add a scraper or two or maybe LN 112 :lol:
