buying them used is expensive now currently a biax 7el is on the bay for 1300 and its a auction getting them cheap is hard to do that one reason why im making oneyou can spend a lot of time, or money, or both.
personally, i bought them used. instead of trying to re-invent the wheel

I suspect such a project has been posted many times. Well, this is my take on it.

Thanks for the kind words.Nice work and explanations.
The price of the so called “professional” ones are insane, and I like seeing this kind of ingenuity to solve problems. This creates competition.
And Competition is what these manufacturers need, to force them to compete on price, and improve their products.
well done
I have never been able to examine a Biax Scraper, but from what I have seen in pictures, it seems like it has a rigid shank. Am I confused?One thing I would suggest is the scraper shank does need a bit of flex, probably needs more flex in a power scraper.
First scraper I made, the shaft was too stiff and just wouldn’t work right. It needs the flex to help the scraper blade confirm to the work, if it’s too stiff tends to bounce around.
I found that for a hand scraper, a 1/8 x 7/8 cold rolled provides about the right flex.
