Veritas Scraper Burnisher for Turners

A burnished hook is produced by cold-working the steel with a harder tool, which creates a denser, stronger burr than grinding. A burnished hook lasts longer between touch-ups and produces a smoother, more consistent cut than a grinder burr, which tends to be fragile and uneven.

The 10° rod is for burnishing scrapers with bevels of 70° or 75°. The 5° rod is for scrapers with 75° to 80° bevels. Both rods are included with the burnisher.

Yes. Because the burnisher is clamped in a vise or screwed to a lathe stand, you can use your full body weight for leverage, which generates enough force to roll a hook onto HSS scrapers. This is not possible with conventional hand-held burnishers.

The two included carbide rods cover bevel angles from 70° to 80°. The 10° rod handles 70° to 75° bevels; the 5° rod handles 75° to 80° bevels.

Yes. The Veritas Scraper Burnisher for Turners is designed for both full-size and miniature turning tools, making it versatile across a range of lathe work.
