5" Cabinet Scraper in .032" Sheffield Steel

THE PERFECT TOOL FOR STRIPPING WOOD FINISHES

The essential tool that expert furniture restorer, Simon Gilboy, has meticulously chosen after years of experience and thousands of hours spent stripping wood finishes. This carefully crafted scraper is designed to be the perfect size and thickness for efficiently removing materials without the risk of surface damage.

Why is it the perfect choice?

Optimal Size and Thickness: Simon's extensive experience has led him to select this 5" Cabinet Scraper with a .032" thickness as the ideal combination. It strikes the right balance, ensuring you can efficiently remove material without the risk of "digging in."

Control and Precision: This scraper provides you with excellent control over your stripping process. Its size allows for even pressure distribution, reducing the chances of uneven results.

Efficiency: Unlike larger or smaller alternatives, this scraper strikes the perfect balance between speed and precision. It removes just the right amount of material without making the job overly time-consuming.

Durability: Crafted from Sheffield Steel, this scraper is built to last. Its thickness ensures it remains flexible yet durable, maintaining its edge for longer.

Why not just use a filler knife?

Filler knives may lack the control required for delicate stripping work. Their handles offer less control over pressure, increasing the risk of surface damage.

A filler knife's single edge is less efficient compared to a cabinet scraper's four edges, which come in two different sizes. This means you can work faster and more effectively.

Don't compromise your restoration projects with the wrong tools. Choose the 5" Cabinet Scraper in .032" Sheffield Steel for precise, efficient, and damage-free wood finish stripping.

Material: 0.8mm (0.032") British Steel (Sheffield)

Dimensions: 5" x 2.5" (127mm x 63.5mm)

Varnish removal

This scraper has removed the varnish coat from a table that I am restoring with ease. Very little effort and it saved all the dust that sanding varnish off would have made.
