           EXERCISE 21: Scraping of flat bearing surface and their

                                    fitting



           Objectives

           At the end of this exercise you shall be able to
           •  find high spots on curved surfaces using prussion blue
           •  scrap curved surfaces and test.

           A half round scraper is the most suitable scraper for scraping curved surfaces. This method of scraping differs
           from that of flat scraping.
           Method

           For scraping curved surfaces the handle is held by hand in such a way as to facilitate the movement of the
           scraper in the required direction. (Fig 1)
           Pressure is exerted with the other hand on the shank for cutting.

           Rough scraping will need excessive pressure with longer strokes.
           For fine scraping, pressure is reduced and the stroke length also becomes shorter.
           Cutting action takes place both on forward and return strokes. (Fig 2)

             Fig 1                                             Fig 2



















           During the forward movement one cutting edge acts, and on the return stroke, the other cutting edge acts.
           After each pass, change the direction of cutting. This ensures a uniform surface. (Figs 3 & 4)
