Narex Tapered Burnisher for Card Scrapers and Cabinet Scrapers

The Narex Tapered Burnisher is designed to put precisely-angled burrs on your scraper blades.

Narex have created a beautiful version of the discontinued Stanley 185 burnisher, with a round shaft that is tapered from the handle to the tip, and a second 30° taper at the tip. It is the 30° taper that really sets this burnisher apart.

Often, we over-bend our burrs. An over-bent burr leads to a card scraper that only cuts when it is pushed over at an awkward angle, or a cabinet scraper that won’t cut at all! The solution is to gently run the point of the Narex Tapered Burnisher along underneath the burr at 30°, producing a more consistent, effective cutting angle - letting you hold the scraper nearly upright.

The HRc64 tool-steel rod is 150mm (6in) long and tapers from 9.5mm (3/8in) at the handle to 5.3mm (3/32in) at the spot where the 30° taper starts. The 110mm (4-3/8in) long Beech handle is secured with a brass ferrule and has a clear satin finish. Overall length is 260mm (10-1/4in).
