HELP ME CHOOSE- VERITAS SMALL SCRAPER PLANE OR CABINET SCRAPER

Card scrapers work for me, can’t see any reason to buy a holder for them. I’d probably make one first if I felt the need. Just my two cents.

-- Ooo, er.

I wont be much help either, but I also prefer card scrapers I have a much better feel for the angle and can easily adjust the pressure I am applying to vary the cut also tuning the edge is a breeze with no holder. The dedicated scrapers are nice but have a different feel to them.

a cabinet scraper such as the stanley number 80 or the veritas version, help to keep the surface you are scraping flat. which a card scraper does not.
I really don’t see the benefit of the small scraper plane, but then again I don’t build musical instruments.

good luck

Sears has a scraper, made in Sweden, that they sell for 9.00. I’ve used mine quite a bit and love it. For less than 10 bucks, you can’t go wrong IMO because it actually works well. The brand is Bahco and you can also find it at Rockler for a couple dollars more, plus a few other stores, some more, some less.
