Long & Strong Curved NEG Rake Scraper 1" x 7/16" x 10" with 5/8" tang
The name says it all...
This tool is a NEW LARGER SIZE with a 2" Tang that fits our 12" and 16" handles with 5/8” receivers.
This is a stout tool that gives you ultimate control. It will hang over the tool rest with no chatter. Makes aggressive or fine finishing cuts with ease.
They are much more user friendly to use than a standard scraper, and hard to get a catch with. The Long radius excels at refining the shape.
20* top angle and 70* bottom. Negative Rake scrapers are a must for finishing wood, and turning plastic, acrylics, or dense hardwoods.

I was amazed at how easy it was to use this scraper. I have used it on green and dry wood with excellent results. I haven't had to sharpen it yet due to the amazing edge it arrived with. Shipping was very prompt.

Very easy to use, easy to sharpen. Holds a keen edge like all the D-way tools

I'm a fairly new wood turner, and recently purchased the D-Way Long and Strong 1" Negative Rake Scraper. I love it! It is extremely forgiving. I've had no problem with catches, and it allows me to easily finish the inside of medium-large bowls (9-12 inches). It's a solid tool, and exactly as advertised.

If you can see quality and beauty, that's what you'll see when you pick up this scraper. I resisted "negative rake" scrapers for years, telling folks that I have been successful using a "positive rake" scraper and just raising the handle. This tool changed my whole philosophy on that subject. When I told the guys in the club that I purchased a "negative rake", they laughed because I now know what they know. I have no doubt that the rest of the D-Way line is the same same quality as this tool.

Can a scraper be a functional, well-engineered work of art? This one is. A bit "over the top" for a mere scraper? Perhaps. I use scrapers to clean up the inside of a bowl and to finish the bottom of end-turned vessels ( I don't do tiny openings). I needed a hefty scraper that wasn't too wide to get to the bottom of deeper vessels, especially when I couldn't get one of my rests in far enough. I have now used this scraper on vessels, scraping the end grain with full overhang of the tool and found it to be amazingly stable. Of course, I do stick it in a hefty OneWay handle and that helps, but the thickness of this scraper makes a huge difference. Beyond that, I've got scrapers in M2 and A10 from various makers and all of them came with sharp edged sides ... where the tool hits the rest. D-Way puts a nice radius on the corners of all their tools ... the only sharp edge is the cutting edge. Just beautiful. And all their tools come with a sharp cutting edge. I'm no expert sharpener and I have to work at it to get my D-Way tools as sharp as they came. In this case the burr that came on this tool cut nice shavings and lasted about twice as long as the ones I put on. As Dave says in one of his videos ... "It'll be sharp once anyway". I think he was talking to me.

Talked with Jimmie prior to buying this tool. I thought there way no way it would perform as he indicated. It doesn't; it so unbelievably superior to how he indicated it would perform. This tool solves your transition zone problems. Have used it on bowls from three inches in diameter to eighteen inches in diameter without a sniff of a catch. Like the rest of their tools, sharpening is a snap.
