Dear /diy/, please help me to identify the tool on the pic.
It is used to scrape grooves in wood (or at least that's what I've seen it used for). I need a name or a place where I can get one.

>> No.34212

Pretty please?
I need to make a groove, do not have a router and when I try to explain what I need in one of those chain home improvement stores, I get a blank stare of a drone.
/diy/, you are my only hope.

Is this a hand tool or a bit for a power tool?
Is that the top view, side view, etc? If that's a hand tool, where do you hold it?

>scrape grooves in wood
Does it cut or scrape? It isn't a gouge or chisel?

Frankly, your drawing is fairly cryptic.

looks like a screwy portable hand planer to me.

>> No.34230

It is a hand tool. Shank goes into a handle, there are several different pieces of varying thickness.
The image is a side view, but the tool is prretty much uniformly flat (except shank).
You hold it pointy noze down and it cuts groove on a pull stroke.

Scoring blade?

>> No.34241

Also, I internetted "chisel", "plane", "scraper" and some other variants, but nothing looked like it or seemed like it would do what I need (1/8" groove 1/4" deep).

I will take suggestion for alternative non-power hand tool to do what I need.

I looked up "pull groover" but they look kind of different. Where did you see this tool?

Frankly, if I wanted something like that, I'd probably make it, but I do more metal working than wood working.

>> No.34258

>>34237
Scoring blade is too thin and pointy. It would not leave V-shaped mark, I need rectangular.

>>34234
Thanks, anon. The one I saw looked pretty much like a screwdriver, but this router plane might work. (Just checked the prices. Ouch.)

I saw my dad use it when I was a kid. This was 30 years ago. He says he has no idea what it called, he just bought a set from a hardware store.

router beveling bit

>> No.34647

>>34561
not likely, bits generally have to be symmetrically weighted so they don't get fucked up by the rapid spinning.

>> No.34890

lookss like a lathe tool. is the edge at the top sharp?

>> No.35178

>>34890
The thickness of the tool is same all over. The top edge is actually a flat face.

>> No.35223

Quite possible that it was a custom fabricated tool.

The shank seems to imply it is supposed to fit like a file handle.

Looks kind of like http://www.davidreedsmith.com/Articles/BeadingTool/beading_tool.htm or http://www.davidreedsmith.com/Articles/ShearSpear/shear_spear.htm

I think it may be a custom lathe tool
