This CD-Rom is a complete guide to metal scraping. It describes what it is like to scrap and gives a full explanation of the tooling involved.

Metal scraping is a technique for removing, progressively and in a controlled way, very thin layers of metal from the high areas of a surface, making it increasingly even until it reaches a very high degree of flatness. Think of a metal surface as having high and low areas, like miniature hills and valleys of a terrain. With each scraping pass you remove some material from the peaks, and so make them lower. After a sufficient number of passes, you will have brought the peaks down to the level of the valleys, and the surface will have become flat.
