These tools pop-up here and there from time to time. It happens I own one. Actually I found it as a huge bargain 🙂
But I have no idea how to use it correctly. There’s not much about it around the net, unless there was a rather enigmatic PDF, whit which you could only guess it works with rather thicker and larger in size scrapers…
Has any one of you owned/used it?

It’s supposed to put the correct burr angle on a card scrapper quickly and repeatably. I don’t know how useful the tool really is as I don’t know if I ever actually used it because I’ve always used a regular burnisher. If I remember right, (I could be wrong), it’s only used on a scrapper filed at a 90-degree angle not the 45-degree angle filed on a card used with a Stanley #80 scraper plane which would would have made this tool very useful. If your using a card scraper by hand you “feel” for the the angle of the burr when using it so a “precise” angle is a total non-issue. I suppose it could save some time if your doing a lot of scraping and have to resharpen often. This is a good reminder for me to actually check it out the next time I need to use a scraper. I’ll need to “dig it out” as I do not yet have a work space set up which I’m hoping to do so I can work on many of the projects here.
