When to choose it

The selected eight-inch edge gives more clearance than the ten- or twelve-inch tools when the seam stops near a return. Compare the available wall area and pan opening before choosing this width. Goldblatt describes a blue-steel blade supported by an aluminum backing.

The tool is available in several widths. Select the eight-inch variant when room is limited and compare a wider edition if you need to extend the pass over more of the surrounding board.
