I dug th SteMac out last evening, never really used it much, as there is little
I cannot do without a card scraper. I did put a hollow grind on one edge and after a bit of experimentation, it worked very, very well!

Does anyone here know of what material that scraper is made of?

I have a few really nice toothed scrapers. Most people use a different name for them. They call them rotary tool cut off wheels.

In the StewMac video, Al Carruth, the inventor, says it's "tool steel, very slightly tempered to about Rockwell C 62." In a blog, Alan described his first scraper made this way was O1.

Thanks Alan. Think I may make one about the size and shape of a card scraper, 1/4" thick, and dished out like my StewMac. Please bear in mind, when I say I may make, I really mean, one of my machinists will be doing a "government job". I was thinking O1, and I will use an outside heat treat source for heat treating and drawing to Rc62.

Where did you get that diamond wheel Derek?

RE: StewMac Ultimate Scraper - Derek Cohen - 02-17-2019

David, it is a 180 grit CBN wheel. That one came from Jim Carroll at the CWS Store (in Oz).

You would not (ever .. never!) want to use a diamond wheel at speed (i.e. heat) with a high carbon blade. Diamond is only good for carbide. With high carbon steels, the diamond wheel will disintegrate within a relatively short period (the graphite in diamond is absorbed by the iron in the steel). Stick to CBN - I think I got the ball rolling on these a few years ago: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/WoodworkTechniques/UltimateGrindingSharpeningSetUp.html
