How does a cabinet scraper work? |

|
|
||||
 |
A cabinet scraper is placed onto the surface of a workpiece with the cutting edge at an angle. It is then pushed or pulled against the surface to remove any unwanted material or finishes to produce a clean, smooth finish. | |||
 |
The cutting edge has a hook (burr) on each side so it cuts when it’s pushed and angled away from you, or when it’s pulled and angled towards you. | |||
 |
The hook digs into the surface of the workpiece and creates shavings as it is pushed or pulled.
The shavings are the unwanted layer of the workpiece being removed. |
|||
 |
This process is repeated until the surface is smooth. | |||
