I was watching Cap'n Eddie on YouTube some time ago, talking about scrapers. He casually mentioned that if you hold you scraper with a downward slope, you are effectively making your scraper into a NRS as the scraper then meets the wood at the same angle it would if the top of the scraper were ground down to the same angle. I thought about this a while, and decided he is probably right. I tried the downward angle and got good results. I must say, though, that I have found my scrapers usually give me a good smooth finish anyway. I have found this works especially well on the outside of bowls, to remove the odd tool mark or rough spot.
Do any of you use negative rake scrapers, or have any comment?
