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.
