Troubleshooting
Scraper is not removing material effectively
Ensure the blade is sharp. If dull, hone or sharpen the blade. Check that you are holding the scraper at the correct angle to shave the material, not dig into it.
Uneven scraping marks on wood
The blade may be damaged or unevenly sharpened. Inspect the blade for nicks or burrs and re-hone or sharpen as necessary. Ensure consistent pressure and angle during use.
Blade seems to be digging into the wood
This indicates the blade is likely too sharp on the edge or being pushed too aggressively. Try honing the burr slightly or adjust your angle and pressure.
