Thanks everyone for the suggestions - I will give it a shot and report.

Can one burnish a hook on a TC blade with a harder material (say a diamond coated rod) and use it like a card scraper?

I tried a steel scraper from two cherries (0.6 mm) and one from Arno (...

Thanks Jim. I think I will create a new post - I want to see if someone can explain why TC will/won't work. After all if the geometry is the same and material is harder, it should work.

I tried a steel scraper from two cherries (0.6 mm) and one from Arno ( French Spring Steel Super Hard 1 mm) and a hss plane blade. Flattened the sides and edge (back and bevel for plane blade) and...

It's been ten years, but in case you are still on this list, can you please tell me if the TC paint scrapers like: https://www.diy.com/departments/harris-2-heavy-duty-scraper/36385_BQ.prd
can be...

Thanks, Lee. Yes, I forgot that people like to change the bearing to move the profile closer in and farther out.

Thanks Mark - that does support my intuition that a C ring is a better design than a screw. If it had hit you instead of the piece, it could have been disastrous.

I don't see how Loctite can hurt...

A thread already exists on this topic but my post did not get any response. I thought posting in this forum may get a response as the members here might have tried something similar. Is it a good...

It's been a while, but in case someone is still looking, is it a good idea to add a bearing below the bit (in my case, a round over bit) and cut a small grove after leaving space for the bearing and...

From the science of sharp site you quoted:

This observation provides further evidence that the foil edge burrs produced by the latigo...

Thanks for the input Jim.

And the zinc alloy threaded inserts do work well in hardwoods? I was wondering whether to get these or stick with brass ones. I tried using T-nuts in neem and they come out very easily. I am...

Mark, have you tried these zinc alloy threaded inserts? How do they compare with the brass inserts?
