The Rucker Tool Co. 9-inch Straight Edge: Machining and Scraping

We now have castings available for the Rucker Tool Company 9-inch Camelback Straight Edge. In this video, I will show the process of machining, grinding and hand scraping a raw casting into a usable straight edge. Dovetail Straight Edges are widely used for checking the alignment and scraping in flat and dovetail surfaces of machine tool ways and slides. These casting are made from close-grained grey iron and have been heat treated to relive stress. This is for a rough casting, which the buyer can then machine and scrape into a useful tool. The dovetail face is at 45 degrees to the bottom face, but can be machined to other angles if desired.
