Dear Mr. KingThe flatter the rake the harder the material. I think they say 3 to 5 because it is not something you need to check on an optical comparator to get a perfect 5 degree's. A Glendo lapper has a scale that you eyeball. If you scrape plastic like Rulon they tell you to grind it - 20 to 30 degrees. Scraping steels with a power scraper we recommend + 20 to 30 degree's
After you get the work flat by rough paint scraping to .001" flatness or your part is ground or machined to .001". One of the easiest things to do when scraping to get more points per 1 inch (PPI) is to look straight down at your work. See as Ted is pull scraping his scraper is straight down. If you have a hand scraper and you push scrape to get more then 20 PPI use a shorted more flexible hand scraper. Grind the blade to a 60 mm (2.5") tip radius with neg - 5 degree rake and 40 mm (1.5" radius with neg. rake of 5 degree's to get 40 PPI. Same technique when BIAX power scraping, hold the power scraper like your holding a puppy hand under it and hand holding the top front.Pictures L to R
