No. 85 Cabinet Maker’s Scraper
This elegant Scraping Plane, comfortably sized between our large and small Scraping Planes, is based on the Stanley No. 85. The blade extends the full width of the base and allows you to work right into a corner, such as a fielded panel. The tilting knob and handle offer clearance for your knuckles when scraping inside a box or on a wide, deep rabbet. Frog is fixed.
- Ductile Iron body, 3 lbs.
- Length 8-3/8″ (21.27cm). Width 2″ (5.08cm)
- 2″ wide A2 Blade, beveled at 45º
Materials:
The body is cast from Ductile Iron, a very strong alloy that will
take a lot of abuse. These castings are fully stress-relieved, a process that
removes inherent stresses and ensures that the tool will remain flat and true. The cap and frog are Manganese Bronze. Other parts are Brass and Steel.
The blade is A2 Tool Steel hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically
treated and double tempered. Our heat treating technique ensures that the
blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time. After heat treating, the blade is fully surface ground on the top, back, and cutting edge, giving a smooth, flat surface that will take a mirror finish very quickly. The thick blade provides solid chatter-free cutting.
Maintenance:
The body casting is ground dead flat to a tolerance of .0015″. Depending on how much use your tool gets, an occasional light sanding with 320 grit or finer wet/dry paper on a flat surface will keep the sole in as-new condition. Tools with Iron bodies should be kept lightly oiled or waxed to prevent rust. We recommend Jojoba Oil, a plant based oil product that is non-toxic, odor-free and easy to use. Also, in our shop, we use a fine abrasive handblock to remove any light surface oxide from tool bodies and blades. Jojoba Oil and abrasive handblocks are available from us.
