Melbourne Tool Company Cabinet Scraper & Burnisher Set

We’ve paired the MTC Cabinet Scraper with the Scraper Burnisher for a complete, low-effort surface preparation solution—comfortable to use, quick to set up, and far more efficient than sanding.

Working with hand tools is one of the great pleasures of woodworking. And to do this well, you need good tools. Melbourne Tool Company offers tools that are genuine, accurate and accessible, tools designed for the woodworker in you.

Your MTC Cabinet Scraper

New thinking from Melbourne Tool Company has turned the traditional cabinet scraper into a comfortable, efficient workshop companion.

Due to their blade angle, all cabinet scrapers require significant physical effort to push through the cut. Handle design is therefore absolutely crucial. MTC have carefully redesigned the shape and position of the cabinet scraper’s handles, optimising the angle of effort and delivering a more efficient, easier action. And by incorporating soft cork inserts into the handles the sensation of holding the tool is softened and grip is improved. This balance of comfort and control means you can work for hours.

Ergonomic Innovation

Careful ergonomic design has created a beautifully balanced and responsive tool. The cork inserts feel good in the palms with no recesses on the underside of the handles. Your fingers curl comfortably under the handle rather than squeezing up under a sharp, concave piece of cast iron.

Fine Finish

Cabinet scrapers excel at producing a smooth and fine finish on a workpiece. While the cutting action is similar to that of a card scraper, the flat sole prevents you from creating a divot or depression in the surface. And your thumbs will thank you!

Easy to Set Up

MTC’s carbon steel scraper blade is ground at 45 degrees on both edges and is easy to prepare for work by simply turning a small burr. The blade can be reversed when one edge dulls, while the upper sharp edge is tucked safely behind the body casting, meaning you won’t accidentally cut yourself! A knurled brass knob allows you to set the depth of cut precisely and easily, so you can spend time on your project rather than on your tool.

Quiet and Clean

Unlike power tools such as sanders, cabinet scrapers produce hardly any noise and do not create dust. Perfect when working on fine projects or in spaces where noise and dust need to be minimized. Your ears and lungs will thank you!

Environmentally Friendly

Sanding your project through the grits means that your rubbish bin will begin to fill up with used abrasives. Not only does this cost you money, it’s also pretty rough on the environment. The MTC Cabinet Scraper produces zero landfill, but is much more pleasant to use than a cloth nappy.

Your MTC Scraper Burnisher

Creating a smooth and consistent hook on your scraper is key to efficient surface preparation. This simple yet essential tool will keep your Cabinet Scraper sharp and performing at its best. The polished surface of the MTC Scraper Burnisher glides effortlessly along the scraper, producing a precise hook that delivers a clean, high-quality finish.

The MTC Burnisher is well balanced in the hand, featuring a Maple handle and brass ferrule. The handle design includes a small flat on one side, preventing it from rolling off your bench. Produced from High Speed Steel with a hardness of 62 HRC, the Scraper Burnisher will become a lifetime workshop companion.
