A surform shaver is a compact and lightweight type of surform tool which, as the name suggests, shaves thin ribbons of material away from a surface. | |||
What is a surform shaver used for? |
||||
 |
It has a small, curved blade which easily grates through many materials, including wood, plastic, and plasterboard. This makes the surform shaver effective in removing large quantities of material, at a fast pace.
The size of the tool means it is especially useful in awkward areas where a larger surform tool may not be able to reach. |

 |
The blade on a surform shaver also has side-cut teeth, meaning it is designed with a cutting edge all along one side. For more information, see What are the parts of a surform shaver?
