How to use the Woodcut Irons Shear Scraper with Phil Irons

The Woodcut Tools Irons Shear Scraper is designed to shear cut the external shapes of bowls and hollow forms. Think of it like a cabinetmaker’s scraper for turners It is used to refine shapes, remove any high spots and torn grain, create smooth curves
and flowing lines. The benefit of this is a uniform surface straight from the tool that makes sanding easier.
This tool uses a 40 mm or 1.6” steel diameter cutter with high carbon and chromium content and a hardness of approximately 62 HRC for better wear resistance and a sharp edge. Ideal for both hard and soft woods. The cutter angle can be easily adjusted while you work with the spring washer, secured with a button head screw, fixed with the hex key supplied. The cutter is three sided so that you aren't constantly having to hone a single edge, as one edge dulls another can be rotated into position. The cutter can be easily sharpened with a diamond hone.
The shaft is 5 5/8" diameter round and 12 1/2" long. Milled to support the cutter and easy to hold without a handle. Features a black oxide finish to help prevent corrosion.
Please note: This tool should not be used on the interior of bowls or vessels.
Available un handled.
The Woodcut Irons Shear scraper has been designed in collaboration with professional woodturner Phil Irons www.philironswoodturning.co.uk/

Is it possible to get bad catches with this? Or is it “dummy proof”??
