What is the difference between this tool and a burnisher?** A: This tool, a machinist's scraper, as the first reponder said, usually removes metal. Burnishing, I think, is more of a pressing and rubbing operation that smoothes, polishes, deforms, and hardens metal. The explanation at the following website might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnishing_%28metal%29A burnisher (triangular, oval, or round) is a tool often used by woodworkers to sharpen "cabinet scrapers". If that's what you need the burnisher for, there is more information here:http://forums.finewoodworking.com/fine-woodworking-knots/hand-tools/choice-burnisherhttps://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/discussions/topic/which-burnisher/http://www.fine-tools.com/G10004.htmHowever, I think that although a machinist's scraper would ordinarily be used to remove metal, you might be able to use the the machinist's scraper as a burnisher by pressing it down and "dragging" it in the direction opposite to the direction that its sharp edge is facing. But you have to be careful not to cut yourself - the machinist's scrapers are sharp! **Q: how effective is it at deburring silver?** A: It is a machinists scraper so it can deburr most metals, silver is kind of soft so care should be taken when using this tool. If you are making jewelry I would suggest using fine emery cloth instead so you do not gouge the material, Hope that helps. **Q: Length of the straight portion of the blade? And how flat? Any defects?** A: Blade length is 2.95 inches blade is visually flat on a surface place until 2.2 inches from handle. Hope this helps. **Q: What country is it made in?** A: Not USA ## Frequently Bought Together - General Tools 478 Triangular Scraper - Hungdao Bowling Ball Workout Tool Bowling Accessories with 3/4 and 3/5 Double Choice Replacement Blade for Thumb Fingers - Generic Bowling Ball Finger Insert Removal Tool, 31/32"" Diameter, Aircraft Aluminum Construction, Black Anodize Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/5403554-general-tools-478-triangular-scraper](https://capeverde.desertcart.com/products/5403554-general-tools-478-triangular-scraper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cape Verde* *Store origin: CV* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
