I love this tool. Long time user of card scrapers and over the years have vacillated with methods of making the burr. This makes it so easy. It did take some time to get over what I was going to have to pay for the Accu-Burr, but now I'm very happy with the purchase. I bought the copper pipe couplers with it, then made handles that could take the coupler in. Much easier to put more pressure on the rod for my hands.
I had tried scrapers for a while and I never could get a good Burr I mean a good shaving from my scraper blade and I saw the accuser with Stumpy Nubs and I ordered one and I have used a scraper blade ever since there's one that stays pretty much on my bench all the time I don't know who came up with the ackee bird but man I'd like to shake their hand it's a fantastic tool
I kind of like the fine tuning of my skills involved in manually setting the amount of burr, although I do use a guide for my plane irons. Plus, If I'm only burring one edge of my scraper, I can make each side different.
I tend to put a coarse burr on both sides of the top of my scraper with an AccuBurr and a fine on both sides of the bottom. If I want to switch I just turn the card upside down.
@@seanodonnell6952 Yeah, I thought of that. If I didn't have a burnisher, I might get one of these, but I wouldn't spend the money when I have a nice Veritas burnisher.
We only filter out the reviews that have an abundance of bad language or are a result of misuse. Others have been removed on occasion after a replacement was sent and the customer was happy with the product. There can also be a delay on when reviews are published - it just depends on when someone goes through to review them.
@@TaylorToolworks Much respect for the reply and all you do. I posted a negative review about a year ago for your cabinet scrapers as they're very wavy compared to other brands and it never appeared on your website... There was no foul language or misuse perhaps it just fell through the cracks. I just found it odd it disappeared but thanks anyways
@@zzzBEASTMANzzz Of course - I'm the marketing manager for Taylor Toolworks and handle the reviews, but I've only been here for about a year. It's very possible someone managing the reviews prior handled it differently than I do. If you reach out to support@taytools.com and give them your customer information, we'll send you replacement cabinet scrapers since it sounds like the ones you received were defective.
Micron grits are backwards. 60 micron is rougher than 40. Each particle is either 60 or 40 micron across as opposed to normal grit sizes that refer to how many particles can fit through a 1x1 inch screen. Good question.

“You can feel that 90 degree edge”… I’m gonna call BS because if that were true you would’ve noticed that you started working the faces on the opposite end of the scraper you had just flattened in the vise. That being said, it looks like as long as you prep the faces and then use the accu burr you can get results with a card scraper
Gotta admit, that's hilarious and you've got a sharp eye to catch that he flipped the card and didn't notice. But Mike is giving a ton of great advice on several techniques, you probably could have found a more polite way to point it out. Regardless of whether it's the side he prepped, I don't think anyone will disagree that you can feel a perpendicular edge.
I disagree. The single most problematic thing people do when sharpening a card scraper is not getting a nice clean sharp 90° edge before trying to turn a burr. It's the key to getting a working edge, and I've seen people miss that time and time again. This is a genius tool, and even though I have access to machines that would make it trivial for me to make my own, I'm buying this from Mike.
@@DonsWoodies interesting I guess it depends on what you are going for I have found that you need a clean edge but definitely does not need to be a 90 or perfect I usually would take it to the stone and do a a few seconds on edge and a few seconds on each side pushing down with my fingers on diamond it's really fast And the a carbide burnisher will take out any small error you may have made
You're right. If you can get a 90 degree edge without the scraper vise go for it. I just use it and teach it because newbies can get a good edge almost the first time.
The $1.99 is for the brass handles separately. We included the handles in the listings, otherwise customers aren't able to find them (and they're very useful to have). We use Shopify, and as of now Shopify will always advertise the cheapest price in the listing. We're not trying to bait and switch, we really don't have any control over it as of now.
Got a link ?
It's also in our description if you need to find it again: lddy.no/1e3e7

I just tried out the whole system. LOVED IT. Easiest and best burr on my scrapers that I've gotten. Very quick and fool proof.
Makes my life easier, no point in reinventing the wheel (unless it floats your boat). Awesome Mike, I like it!
Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks, Mike. I now actually use my card scrapers. Much appreciated.
Just bought the burr tool. Do you have any plans for the magnetic piece of wood to hold the scrapers and the scraper vice?
Great demonstration Mike, thanks.
Great lesson! Thanks!
Does the rod roll on the scraper or just get pushed? I'm contemplating the handle solution.
It gets pushed
Nice!! I had seen these on the site. I believe I got an email introducing them.
Anyway, glad to see a video of it in use!
Thanks!

I’m gonna try this tool! I normally use the rod that comes with my kitchen knives but I like the bevels on this tool. 👍🏼
My scraper vise has both edges angled slightly outward to act as a guide for the burnisher.
This will work. Is this the katz moses design?
Which groove did you use for the first two strokes with the Accu-Burr? 5° or 15°? I know the middle groove is 10°.
Why didn't you have this out a couple of months ago when I replaced my old burnisher? Now I'm going to have to figure out what to do with it. - Chris
So sorry. I'm always a few days/ weeks or months late. Just ask my wife.
Why do you guys censor reviews on your website to prevent low score reviews?

Cool
why do you go from 60 micron to 40 micron?
Micron grits are backwards. 60 micron is rougher than 40. Each particle is either 60 or 40 micron across as opposed to normal grit sizes that refer to how many particles can fit through a 1x1 inch screen. Good question.
@@TaylorToolworks Thank you for the clear explanation
Your technique looks easy and I will give it a go. My only question is wouldn't it be better to go from 40 to 60 grit, in other words finer last?
40 micron and 60 micron, not grit. The 40 is finer.

@@MikeTaylorToolworks Didn't know that, thanks.
@@MikeTaylorToolworks I have 350 and 1000 grit diamond stones. How do they compare to the 60 & 40 micron film? Thx Jeff
Also, is the lapping film adhesive-backed?
5:57 for the 10 seconds you came here for
Accu-Burr
Thank you. I wish you would have scrapped the wood billet first to show off the improvement of a prepared scrapper.
$40 alone, or $70 with the handles? Is this made by Woodpeckers?!
I love mine 👍

Take my money, please!
OK. How much can you spare??
@@MikeTaylorToolworks about $39+tax after I get paid. Lol. Awesome tool! Really is sorta fudge proof design.
This is definitely idiot proof but lots of this is extremely unnecessary
I get the accu-burr but the rest of the prep is overkill

At 99 euro's a bit overpriced.
Falsely advertised as from $1.99, talk about switch and bait - No way is it anywhere worth $40.00!
