Hand scraping may be considered a lost art, but at Precision Service we understand the value and importance behind machine geometry and accuracy. We take pride in our service technicians with a combined total of 250 years of scraping experience.

The Advantages of Hand Scraping

There are several advantages of hand scraping tools, such as:

  • Flatness: It maintains a machine tooling’s flatness to prevent rocking and chattering, improve balance, and create true flatness in machined components.
  • Accuracy: It maintains a machine’s accuracy by aligning its components within millionths of an inch, so the parts produced adhere to the tightest tolerances.
  • Aesthetics: Hand scraping improves the aesthetics of the machine, giving it an attractive texture.
  • Oil pockets: Hand scraping also creates oil pockets that hold oil on mated surfaces and allow smooth gliding motion between them. If a machine doesn’t have these pockets, mating surfaces will stick together.
  • Longevity: Hand scraping and alignment maintain the consistency, accuracy, and longevity of the machine.
