Bahco 474 Card Scraper

Bahco 474 Card Scraper

"The Sandvik Scraper" is the original card scraper that's long been famous in woodworking circles. After Sandvik and Bahco merged in 1991, the Bahco 474 became the scraper that replaced the 475 Sandvik Scraper that's referenced in Tage Frid's Book 2: Shaping, Veneering and Finishing.

Bahco's hard Swedish cold-rolled, hardened and tempered chrome-nickel steel takes a fine burr and holds it much longer than ordinary card scrapers. Machined surfaces and edges come ready for sharpening and burnishing.

A well-sharpened scraper can cut your finishing time in half. Card scrapers are ideal for finishing, removing glue squeeze-out, leveling across joints and eliminating tearout. The Bahco 474's .032" thickness is moderately stiff, the perfect scraper for finishing flat surfaces.

Comes with a plastic protective sleeve to protect sharpened edges. Scraper dimensions are 2-7/16" x 5-7/8" x .032".
