some guys use files sharpened on the end. or you can buy scraper, I have a couple of three cornered bearing scrapers used that are used on about anything that is small. the carbide blades are the best cause they stay sharp longer.
this is an almost lost art, but the japs and chinese still do a lot of scrapping on the machines they build. its one way of telling if a used machine has been run really hard or how much it is worn by looking at the flaking to see how shallow the marks are some machines will have them worn completely away.
I figured that this mini would be a good place to learn a little while trying to straighten out the chinese defects.
watch the videos and you will learn something new, the german guy is good.
