They'll be fine, someone will come along and say 'at that price it's most likely Russian carbide'Are these what I should look to buy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334369762367?hash=item4dd9fdac3f:g:tk4AAOSw5cli6nDa
Been watching them thanks.
I have looked at my dads old scrapers: 1950's used for scraping babbit bearings, so not what I need.

Or recomendations appreciated.
I'll get in the workshop later and report back
Russian carbide is sharpened on 8 faces from the factory.They'll be fine, someone will come along and say 'at that price it's most likely Russian carbide'
You also need a way to sharpen the carbide - a slow speed diamond disc is ideal
I have had a stinking man flu for 7 days now, fed up, 5 minutes in the workshop and am in coughing fits. In my spare time I have been watching scraping videos.....
So first question, for sharpening the carbide scraper, what type of diamond wheels should I look at?
For low speed rotation of the grinding wheel, what sort of speed am I looking for? Any suggestions for a bench grinder to setup for this?
Will be looking at straight edges next!

Had to make a faceplate for it to take the diamond lapping wheels but works well on the scraper I got from @Pete.
It's 3 phase and I'm running it on an inverter so varialable speed which is nice.

Need to make something like that.
Can't say i saw it to be honest. a useful bit of kitI couldn't believe it hung about in the forsale section for as long as it did until I couldn't resist.
It's a lovely bit of kit and will be great for sharpening the odd HSS lathe tool or shaper bit as well.
