Accu-Burr models
AB1: A 3/16" diameter rod, 3" long. With no handles, this is the base model. It works on scrapers from 0.010" to 0.100" thick, and on concave curved edges as small as 3/32" radius. Use the burnisher as it comes, or add your own handles.
Jr1: Made with the AB1 rod, this model has two brass handles and the same performance specs as the AB1 rod. Approximately 5 1/4" long.
Sr1: Made with the AB1 rod, this model has one wood handle and the same performance specs as the AB1 rod. With only one handle, you can consolidate the edge or draw back an old burr before turning it over again. Approximately 6" long.
Sr2: Made with the AB1 rod, this model has two wood handles and the same performance specs as the AB1 rod. Approximately 8 3/4" long.

Easy to Use
Pick a groove and run it over the scraper with moderate downward force. It is that easy! We have tested on HSS scrapers with a rockwell hardness of 65, on widths from 0.010" up to 0.100", on all kinds of crazy shapes. Just pick it up and go. Get precise repeatable results every time.
Pick the right burr for the job
The three grooves machined into the carbide rod allow you to select a 5, 10 or 15 degree burr. So you can be confident that you get the burr you expect. You can select a coarse burr and use your scraper as a shaping tool, or a fine burr for finishing marquetry.
Any Scraper, Any Shape
Traditional burnishers require the scraper to be held low in a vice to provide stability and rigidity as the burr is turned. The ACCU-BURR™ is self centering allowing the scraper to sit high in the vice. This makes shaped scrapers like gooseneck scrapers as easy to turn a burr on as any other. Even very small scrapers that would be a challenge with other burnishers are simple to use with the The ACCU-BURR™ .
Half the work, Double the Burrs
The The ACCU-BURR™ turns a burr on both sides of your scraper at the same time. Just don't forget to prep both sides!
Choose your Style
The ACCU-BURR™ is available in a range of styles. From a bare rod, to fitted with heirloom quality single or double handles. Choose the style and price point that suits you.
