- I demonstrate how to make a square scraper for wood turning from an inexpensive HSS blank from Amazon. I made a square woodturning scraper but it could be ground as a round nose bowl scraper or even a skew! Here is a product link amzn.to/35gh2mE

Where did you buy your CBN wheels?
Don Spoor , 180 grit from DWay. 80 grit from Ken Rizza, woodturnerswonders.com. Cost about half as much. Better value. Watch my new video tomorrow.
I just bought two wheels from Ken and they are great. Thanks for the tip
Hi Mike, another great video! I’ve recently taken up wood turning when I retired, and I’ve used your videos to take me on that learning journey, which has been great fun, so thank you. Mike J
That is awesome! Safe turning, Michael.
Great idea Mike :) Thank you ॐ
Took those sparks right to the back of the hand like an absolute chad
As I wait for my lathe to arrive, I am making my way through your videos, I like your teaching style. Thanks for sharing your expertise
Outstanding...thanks for taping and sharing.
Nice work as always Mike :)
Thanks Mike, great video as usual. 18 x 8 x 200 HSS bar ordered £4.09 ($5.47) free postage.
Excellent!
great stuff mike i did one and they work awesome
Hi Mike, many thanks for the idea, I've made myself two scrapers like yours. Do you have any feedback having used these tools for a while?
No. A HSS scraper is pretty basic. A square scraper is not a tool I use much. I already had several round scrapers so made a square one to have on hand. I will probably use it in an upcoming video on end grain hollowing.
When you started grinding at about the five minute mark, I thought your phone was ringing. Haha. I guess they don't sound like that anymore. Great video. Thank you.
The grinding did sound like an old style phone, didn't it?
I got like 12 of these bars all different sizes for about $35…scrapers, skews and beading tools for life!
Metal lathes used these so they are out there for cheap usually a whole lot of them when the old stuff is being sold off. Here in police state Switzerland it’s a lot of great quality metal from England okay bye
Sounds like you really scored! I bet you find uses for all of them. Stay safe.
Tips: If you get a short piece of CPVC pipe in a size just able to slide over the handle of your vise, you can get considerably more torque on your vise and be able to clamp things much more tightly.
Sharpie on your tang when you're testing the fit will rub off on the wood, showing you exactly where you need to take off material - paint the entire tang with sharpie, test it, and you'll see by the shiny spot where you need to take it down. =)
Did the HSS bar come in a hardened condition from amazon?
Thanks for your tips. Yes, the HSS blank is hardened as it is used in the metal industry as a parting tool.
Great video, just ordered one for me and a second one for a friend for Christmas! Thanks for listing it in your Amazon store!
Great video, Mike. Tools are expensive...this helps a lot. Did you wind up adding epoxy to the handle?
No. Sometimes I have but it should not be necessary. Have you ever seen a commerical WT fastened with epoxy? I have not.
I definitely am going to make one of these thanks Mike. What did you use as your search words for the has bar?
Search terms for HSS blanks can be tricky. Start with the references to the blanks on my Amazon shop and experiment. A search on ebay may not give the same results on Amazon.
Hey Mike ...I've come to really enjoy your videos ...espeically your tool videos, but all are very good ..thank you for them!
Will definitely buy from your aff links, can't buy from my own :)
Do you know where I can find some hss round bar 1/2" or bigger?
Will these bars be able to be shaped with regular grinding wheel? I have the white oxide wheels?
Is it necessary to be careful of overheating when cutting, shaping or sharpening?
Thanks again & Merry Christmas!

I would search on Amazon and eBay. 1/2 round is an odd size for DIY WT tools. Hard to find in longer stock like 200mm. What kind of tool do you plan on making? I would forget about milling a spindle or bowl gouge. AO wheels will do fine. It is difficult to overheat HSS on a grinder to the point of softening the edge.
Thanks for the reply Mike, I was thinking about trying to grind a gouge of some sort, just wanted to experiment. But if you think its a waste of time, I'm good with that!
Very nice ...That sure looked like a hard steel to work with I could use one of those myself.Happy New Year
Al, I suspect you do know how much grinding it takes on a large piece of HSS. I enjoy your channel.
Rather than cutting a tang on the HSS it might be easier to just weld or braze one on. I've done that and it seems to work well.
Good tip if you have that skill set and equipment. I do not.
Good idea , thanks for sharing.
On the HSS blank do you have to harden and then anneal it?
No, the blank I used was already treated. Heat treating HSS is not feasible for most folks. You need to read the product description to make sure you buy it already hardened.
Is there a benefit to not hardening and tempering your steel? I am just starting out making scrapers for the lathe, but I have always heat treated my chisels and other cutting tools so I don't have to sharpen them every 10 minutes.
HSS requires metallurgy knowledge's.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning :) I just posted a short video on quick hardening and tempering, just for you :) ruclips.net/video/a5cHt-y7iCU/видео.html
Thanks, but am not into metal working. Carbon steel was replaced by HSS for turning tools years ago since it holds an edge better and can't lose its temper while sharpening. If you are not familiar with HSS you might want to investigate.
Hss blanks are pre hardened and ground to spec
Amazon ran out of this metal and doesn't know if it will ever be available again. Any other source just as cheap without expensive UPS shipping?
Go back into the shop from time to time and try again. My screen shows they have 12 left. I suspect more will be coming.
Do you know what grade HHS this is? I've heard there are several different grades with slightly different qualities.
M2, the most common for woodturning tools
Thanks, that helps.
Whoa! Back up the horses a bit. You can't finish the video without showing us how well your new tool works! (Just kidding. Thanks for an informative video.)
It'll work fine for sure, but for how long it will hold the edge?
As well as any commercial woodturning High Speed Steel scraper. This is not a piece of welding steel from a big box store.
I have several more scraper videos coming out soon showing how I sharpen and use scrapers, David. Thanks for the plug on SMC.
Hey, Mike, when you are talking, please switch back to life speed, we can't understand what you're saying during the fast motion video. LOL Nice tool though.
