Alec profile scraper hack, literally.

[Greg W]

I have used some of the profile scrapers made by Shimomura Alec, extensively.  

 

 

 

The versions I have in my toolbox:

 

Often, I use the R-V6 to scrape away unwanted detail from the inside of a cockpit or remove ejector pin marks on curved surfaces.

 

Sometimes though, adjacent profiles will prevent access to confined areas.   

 

 

My workaround was to order a second R-V6 and separate the individual profiles with a cut off wheel mounted to my Dremel.

 

 

Each stalk can then be put in a X-Zacto handle.

 

 

 

For my North American compatriots, if interested, HobbyZone USA carries many of the Alec modeling tools:

Worth a look I think.

Interesting idea! I have some profile scrapers from Yoyager, and they don't really lend themselves to this kind of modification, but it's clever, for sure! Pretty cool knife holder, too.
