The end of the work may be finished by taking a very light cut with
the turning tool and then scraping it with a lathe scraper, as shown
in Fig. 25. To provide a rest for the scraper a tool is clamped in the
tool post and as close as possible to the surface being scraped.

A scraper is usually made from an old file ground smooth on the two
sides and with a little clearance at the end.
