Melbourne Tool Company – Cabinet Scraper

MTC-11428 – The MTC Cabinet Scraper

The MTC Cabinet Scraper is the antidote to tedious sanding. Comfortable, fast and simple to use, it your go-to tool for cleaning up surfaces.

New thinking from Melbourne Tool Company has turned the traditional cabinet scraper into a comfortable, efficient workshop companion.

Due to their blade angle, all cabinet scrapers require significant physical effort to push through the cut. Handle design is therefore absolutely crucial. MTC have carefully redesigned the shape and position of the cabinet scraper’s handles, optimising the angle of effort and delivering a more efficient, easier action. And by incorporating soft cork inserts into the handles the sensation of holding the tool is softened and grip is improved. This balance of comfort and control means you can work for hours.

Features & Benefits

Ergonomic Innovation – Careful ergonomic design has created a beautifully balanced and responsive tool. The cork inserts feel good in the palms with no recesses on the underside of the handles. Your fingers curl comfortably under the handle rather than squeezing up under a sharp, concave piece of cast iron..

Fine Finish – Cabinet scrapers excel at producing a smooth and fine finish on a workpiece. While the cutting action is similar to that of a card scraper, the flat sole prevents you from creating a divot or depression in the surface. And your thumbs will thank you!

Easy to set up – MTC’s carbon steel scraper blade is ground at 45 degrees on both edges and is easy to prepare for work by simply turning a small burr. The blade can be reversed when one edge dulls, while the upper sharp edge is tucked safely behind the body casting, meaning you won’t accidentally cut yourself! A knurled brass knob allows you to set the depth of cut precisely and easily, so you can spend time on your project rather than on your tool.

Quiet and Clean – Unlike power tools such as sanders, cabinet scrapers produce hardly any noise and do not create dust. Perfect when working on fine projects or in spaces where noise and dust need to be minimized. Your ears and lungs will thank you!
