Wood Turning How I Grind My Negative Rake Scraper

I was ask to make a video of how I grind my negative rake scrapers.
Not so much a How To but more How I Do
This may not be what anyone else does but this is how I do it.
I like to use the same angle on both sides so I can touch up both sides if needed. Also if I use one like a bowl scraper and can chose which side has the burr and then it can be used on the inside or outside.

We’ll just wanted you to know I had watched this before and either I was distracted or I wasn’t listening. BUT, I watched and listened closely and I HAVE IT!!! Thanks for being so patient with your elders.

Absolutely perfect. Straight to the point. No unnecessary info. Love the angle finder to make it easy to repeat the grind.

[stewartmcmanus]

Yep, got all that. About to start grinding soon, so I'll be back a couple of times for reference. Cheers Gary, Stewart, south west Australia.

Well I wish I could swear here; but that’s not how the world works anymore. So, read between the lines assume amazement and awe. Your description regarding how to “see the angle, vs. what the digital meter shows”. WOW light coming on moment. Needless to say, thanks you.

Once again, you've given your viewers a video packed with useful information and techniques.
Many thanks!

Thank you Gary. Good information. This video goes into my private playlist with tips and explanations. Always handy to look back again later.

Thanks, Gary...I plan to turn one of my round nose scrapers into a negative rake scraper.

[edcarpenter]

Exactly the information I've been looking for on sharpening a negative rake scraper. Thank you!

Very helpful. I just got a NRS for Christmas.

[alansimpson]

One of favourite tools so thanks for the refresher on how to sharpen one.

[rpedington]

Thanks Gary
I too have been wondering about the NRS. I ground one the other day after watching you use yours on your videos. Before I ground it, it cut great. After I ground it, it won't cut hot butter in the sun. I was pretty bummed. What I did was use the same angle (whatever that is) and just flipped it over and ground the other side. I'll regrind it now after I measure what I've got right now.
Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Thank you Gary! I've wondered how you got such good looking tools.

Hi Gary. Very similar to what I do. My take away today was using the digital angle finder to make the table setting repeatable, genius! Thanks for sharing

[scottsimpey]

That was great to finally get a better idea as to how to set up the platform and everything and also including what angle nrs’s should be ground to. Great information. I have yet to see a video explaining that process as well as you did hear. Thanks a lot Gary for sharing. I know what I’ll be doing soon lol.

Loved the video, Bought a digital angle finder, changed out my tool rest to a steel one. Love the idea.

[diydarkmatter]

thanks gary . i am still learning alot about turning and one of my weakest points is sharpening . so i watch alot of videos on it to learn all i can . this was a good one . i been wanting to make a neg rake scraper for a while for the inside of bowls and boxes . i have been using carbide scrapers if you turn them a little bit you get a neg rake . but i think a real neg rake scraper would be better . now i know the angles . thanks alot buddy .

[tompuskar]

Thanks Gary. That was very useful. I haven't converted to nrs yet (old school!) but have been thinking of doing it. This helps. Stay safe.

[woodturning]

Thanks for the negative rake scraper information. I think it's time I make one, and your explanation was really clear. I think I'm ready to following it.

[daveporter]

Good info is always appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
