Few people have ever seen a correctly prepared bearing scraper. I included 2
pictures of the Hirsch tool I found last week, which several people insisted is
a bearing scraper. A quick comparison should dispel any notion that the Hirsch
tool is a bearing scraper.

Jim:

When you prep a bearing scraper, are the flats on the two sides in the 
same plane? If not, what is the angle between them - or does it matter?
I have one of those, but have only ever used it to scrape flat surfaces.
