Stanley No.80 Scraper

The body clamps the blade at a constant angle and a set screw adjusts the curvature of the blade to regulate the thickness of shaving. Two handles, similar to those on a spokeshave provide a comfortable grip and relieve strain and heat on the thumbs, a problem encountered when using traditional cabinet scrapers. The tool is used with the blade angled away from the worker and pushed. The blade has two edges - one flat for fine work and one slightly curved for coarse work or glue/paint/varnish removal. The blade is honed with a bevel of 45° and then the burr is raised. It will produce a fine shaving. When dust is produced it is time to rehone and reburr.
