Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crown 376 Cabinet Scraper Set, 3-Piece, 2-1/2-Inch by 5-Inch, Gooseneck, Curved
Customer Review: Great entry level set for this versatile inexpensive tool
Summary: 4 Stars
If you know about scrapers, and need a set with curves, then this is a decent set to own.
The steel has consistent grain structure so it takes and hold a good edge. That's not too surprising since Crown is making these from the same steel stock that they use in their back-saws.
Like ALL cabinet scrapers, you need to spend some time refining the edges and turning a bur.
You only need a flat file, some sandpaper, a vice and a burnisher to do that, although I have found diamond stones are very helpful when truing the edges.
Crown makes a decent burnisher for about $20. If you don't want to spend money on a burnisher, then use an old solid carbide router bit, chucked into a wood-block. I find that carbide burnishers work better than any other, and since I make mine out of spent router bits, they cost essentially nothing. (nothing extra that is)
Some say that you can use a screwdriver to burnish scrapers. I can assure you that that is NOT true, UNLESS you have a very old and very good screwdriver made of VERY HARD steel.
Files are very hard, but unless you have one with a smooth rounded "safe" edge, I wouldn't recommend files for burnishing.
The price for this three-piece set is very reasonable. My only complaint is that the scrapers are a trifle thin. That can be an advantage when flexing the scraper to fit a cove molding or rounded edge. But it is a distinct disadvantage for those with little experience sharpening a scraper. Thicker scrapers are just easier to turn a bur on, so woodworking newcomers might consider getting a Bahco scraper instead.
However, if you already know about card scrapers, and you need some curved ones for certain jobs, then this is a bargain.
