"cabinet scraper"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "cabinet scraper"?

A cabinet scraper is a hand tool used to smooth and finish wood surfaces, especially in woodworking and cabinetmaking. It has a flat metal blade with a sharp edge that is used to scrape off thin layers of wood, smoothing rough surfaces or removing imperfections. Unlike sandpaper, a cabinet scraper works by shaving the wood instead of rubbing it, giving a finer, smoother finish. It is commonly used for delicate tasks where precision is important, such as smoothing cabinet surfaces or removing old finishes without damaging the wood. Cabinet scrapers can be adjusted for different angles to suit various types of wood.
