    Sorry for the later answer!
    The resin used in this video is “MultiMetall steel”. It is a steel-filled resin. Not suitable for bearing surfaces, but perfect for fitting surfaces that have to be scraped.
    There’s an other product from the “Moglice-company” (where that Multimetall is from) that is called “DWH”. Also perfect for fitting surfaces, but it can’t be scraped. At least you get a bad surface when scraping. DWH is perfect when you can align a part and then cast that resin.

    Indeed, someone needs to show how, so yes, please post as many vidoes as you can :) :) :) thanks again!

    Is the resin “moglice” or turcite, or something else?

    I tried to scrape parts on my Bridgeport vertical mill. I just did a little, for oil retention in the very worn parts. I think without coplaner faces (fresh from a planer or surface grinder) I will cause damage & misalignment. Sniff sniff, my machines are so worn out :(

    You push quite soft. Especially with the material in this video (it is some kind of resin) you just -more or less- rest your left arm on the scraper.
    I prefer to push. Rarely use the pulling technique, but you have to hold the scraper completely different.
    Will post a new video this month with the BIAX on my Myford MG12 cylindrical grinder (1961)

    Scraping can be learned, but someone has to show it to you.

    Thanks to all for their comments!

    Thank you for video! So many clowns talk about this machine repair, but do NOT show because they think it’s magic. To hell with them. Question: How hard do you press the tool into the work? Is it better to cut with a push, or can one pull a tool (with a different kind of scraper)? Thank you.

    Thanks for posting this. I’ve read about scraping, but actually seeing it done makes a huge difference.
