Description
Our 3/4″ Radius Scrapers are used for the final finishing cuts on the inside of your hollow form. Easily removes any humps or bumps that were created from the hollowing process. Each tool comes ready to go with a sharp M2 High Speed Steel tip. When worn out, tips are easy to replace, replacement tips can be found here.
Why choose a Radius Scraper?
- The larger M2 HSS cutter helps you smooth out the inside surface of your hollow form.
- Designed to be used by hand or with the Stabilizer.
- Available with a standard or negative rake tip (see details below).
- Narrow profile for superior access and control – allows you to hollow longer before needing to clear out the shavings.
- The finishing tool that Trent would not be without.
- Designed by a woodturner for woodturners and made in our Fort Collins, Colorado shop.
Standard Grind vs. Negative Rake Grind: The negative rake grind can be used at a relatively flat angle, and will have less tenancy to catch and grab in awkward areas inside of your hollow form. It is especially useful in the bottom of end grain forms, as the direct end grain can be difficult especially if you are not paying attention to the tool when it enters that area. When I use the standard grind, I usually rotate the tool at a down angle, to mimic the negative rake angle for forms that the tool is wanting to grab & catch. Both achieve the same goal of a smooth surface. Watch a short video about sharpening here.
Which one should I buy? When purchasing a Radius Scraper we generally recommend the Bent tool. Since you have already hollowed out the form, there is no need for a Straight radius scraper (unless you hollowed a fairly straight sided form). Likewise, the Extreme Bent radius scraper is only useful when you have a very flat topped form or form with other hard to reach areas. 99% of the time Trent reaches for a Bent Radius Scraper.
Overall Length of Tool: 19.5″
Don’t forget a handle. We recommend a 24″ Handle, like our Gold Super Tool Handle (included in a “Super Set”).

Is it possible to love tools? Yes, of course, when they come from Trent Bosch! As usual, I should have bought this radius scraper a long time ago. Works perfect with the stabilizer and really did a great job on the final cleanup on a hollow form.

This scraper is the perfect addition to my Trent Bosh 3/4 ” hollowing system with my stabilizer and visualizer.

This is another fabulous tool from Trent! I modified the cutter that comes with the tool and changed its shape to that of a negative rake scraper. It left an inner surface that required minimal sanding. The shaft size (3/4″ diameter) leads to, almost, no vibration at all. Its shape allows easy access to the top, curved inner surface of a hollow form. Well worth the money.

This scraper is a great tool for evening out the ridges that might be left by a hollowing cutter, and leaving a smooth surface inside the hollow form. Like all of Trent’s tools, it is well made and superbly finished. It arrived with a well-sharpened radius scraping tip, ready to go to work. I have a broad selection of Trent Bosch tools including his 3/4” stabilizer, high speed steel hollowers, laser bar, and the carving stand. All are superbly made and a pleasure to use.
