    Default Brown and Sharpe Camelback 18"

    After reading posts on this and other forums, I decided I was going to teach myself the art of scraping. Well, I found an old 18" Brown and Sharpe camelback and bought it, hoping to use it while I was trying to learn. Well, I found a better dovetail master that will work better for me and what I want to do, it also doesn't make me nervous to use it because it isn't a rare, old item. I've posted it on Ebay, so, if anyone out there might need one, or just have one, take a look. Thanks all.

    I did not know Brown and Sharpe made a camelback drill press.

    Thanks for the tip. I do believe he is refering to a Camelback style scraping straightedge.

    That through me for a minute as well.

    I'm glad to see kwm registered in time to promote his auction.

    The danger is not that computers will come to think like men - but that men will come to think like computers. - some guy on another forum not dedicated to machining

    Yes, that is another reason I was giving him a hard time.
    I knew what he meant.

    imo if you want to learn scraping you shouldn't sell it. they are very well made, stable, and at least compared to my dovetail straight edges quite a bit lighter. that matters.
