That's a very comprehensive and informative site, Marcel - thanks for posting it. However, Bob, if you want to cheat you could always invest in a Veritas Adjustable Burnisher. I've got one of these and it's very good.

Hi,
Although I'm a very big LeeValley/Veritas fan and my wife will attest to them having more than their fair share of my paychecks, I'm not so happy with this item that I own myself.
Maybe it's the way I use it that's the problem, and not the tool itself
The burnisher I prefer is this one: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...310,41070&ap=1.
But if you just want to try the scraper, file it square and use a drill bit shank to burnish it; just make sure it's smooth, not gouged or scratched, and use one of a size big enough that it won't bend (drill it into the end of a foam brush handle, don't pull it out, remove from chuck: instant burnisher handle)
However lonepine, you still need to prepare the surface of the scraper before burnishing it. The surfaces need to be flatened and squared first. If you do not have sharpening stones, you could look into this item http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...072,43089&ap=1 It's a file jointer/edger, that one I'm happy withhttp://marleb.com

Reply to rbi Hawk scroll saw springHi Tango. What model scroll saw do you have? I know the model I bought used is a 226-M. I can't find any information on it because it'd so old. Right now I'm trying to determine the H.P. of the motor used to run these scroll saws. Can you look on yours to see what H.P. voltage, and rpm the motor is?...

Reply to Rikon Air Cleanerby will8989He did therapy for 4 weeks then at home for another 2 to get his legs ready for the surgery. The therapist called today her first inhome appointment is Thursday. Hopefully the other knee will be within a few weeks. He has an amazing resolve so I expect him not to need the walker or cane in 2 weeks....
