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.

When you have eliminated all unnecessary wood, then whatever remains, however well formed, is too small to serve as originally intended.

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?

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/WoodworkTec...SetUp.html
