ChrisH-HF Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi all - I am working on a cherry bookshelf that contains some flutes. I routed the flutes with a 3/8" diameter box core bit. At the ends of the flutes there are some light burn marks that need to be removed. I have tried sandpaper, emory cloth etc with no success. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove these burn marks. Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks in advance for your help.

Sinister Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've had some luck with a goose neck card scraper, but I'd like to know if someone has a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I recently ran into this exact problem. I ended up taking a blade from a hand-held jig saw (saber saw) and rounding the tip over on my grinder. I made the radius a little smaller than the flute itself. I then filed the edge sqare and put a burr on it with a burnisher. I wrapped the bulk of the blade in tape (yep, those teeth hurt after a while) and used it as a scraper to get into the ends of the flutes. It's not perfect, but I couldn't figure out any other way to get in there! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHoleInOne Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Take a wood dowel and sand the end down (shape it roundish or like a spoon) to fit the flute, attach some sand paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
