Other than more thickness to absorb vibration along the shaft, I don't see what the advantage of the step down design would be. I use sheer scrapers and negative rake scrapers extensively on bowls...

Bump - this really is a nicely machined tool that won't just put a fresh surface on the abrasive but will do it in a way that ensures the face runs true.
