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.

Square Scrapers are used for finishing convex and flat bottomed forms. The end profile can be modified to a specific shape as required.

The design of these callipers allows not only the measurement of wall thickness but also inside dimensions like the size of an aperture. As with double ended callipers the measurement at one end automatically transfers to the opposite. Available in 6" and 8½" models.

Robert Sorby Standard Skew is rectangular in section giving it more weight and making it superb for spindle work e.g. newel posts and table legs. Skew has been modified by ‘rolling’ the edges slightly to help turners avoid catching an edge and to allow greater manoeuvrability.
