Negative Rake Scraper or Hardwood Scraper, it was originally designed to tackle hardwoods when producing musical instruments. However, the tool is equally at home on all types of wood and is as effective on spindle work as it is on bowls - the action of the negative rake on the bevel reducing the risk of grain tear-out and leaving a polished surface that requires little or no sanding.
End Seal is an emulsified paraffin wax used the seal the ends of freshly cut timber to slow down the drying process and reduce the risk of the timber splitting. It can also be used on work-in-progress that is being left unfinished where there is a risk of the timber splitting. Apply it liberally, normally by brush but it can be sprayed if needed, usually to the smallest surface of the timber which will normally be the end grain where moisture is most likely to escape from. Sealing the surface will encourage the moisture to escape via the larger areas which will result in a slower exit.
Step-over clamping (U-shape), The rail is made of quality steel drawn in a single piece for durability and strength. The U-shape of the rail enables step-over clamping for those hard to reach spaces. The sliding arm is made of die-cast zinc. It is light, stable and break-resistant. The plastic pressure caps on the top and bottom sections protect the workpiece surface.
