Sometimes when I use my negative rake scraper, esp. on spindle work I get light tear out on the end grain of the spindle. If that happened to you what did you do to correct it? Thanks for the feedback. Be safe.

Well, scraping cuts on spindles generally don't do as well as a bevel rubbing cut. I can get a cleaner surface on most spindles by using a peeling cut than I can with a scraper or bevel rubbing cut (either SRG or skew). Other than that, if you have very hard wood, and a fresh burr on your NRS, it should cut fairly well. I still would want to do a peeling type cut for a better surface. I do prefer a burnished burr to the grinder burr on my NRS.
