Can you over brush your bases by hand?

I'm debating trying to re-edge the scraper with a cutting or grinding blade on the dremel and then even out any irregularities with the sharpener/panzer.

I am not understanding/visualizing the usage/process/purpose involving the dremel prior to passing the scraper over the sharpener/panzar.

Do you find that it actually gets the scraper back to original sharpness?

I've been finding that it works reasonably well, and definitely not well enough to justify buying a power sharpener (let alone justify one to the wife), but when I pull out a new scraper I'm reminded that it's not as good as factory.

Just use a piece of plate glass and some 220 grit wet sandpaper.
Anything else will not get the scraper straight.

These kids know nothing.
A wavy scraper is useless and a disaster waiting to happen.
Every real machinist knows that the only way to get things straight and flat is to grind them that way against a true surface.
A straight, sharp steel scraper is a delight to use. even if it can cause problems for the inexperienced.
A straight, sharp steel scraper that has been burred on a carbide rod is a fearsome thing.

I concur.
Sandpaper on a good flat surface works good, although I don't show any of that on any of my stuff.
I sometimes use the old knife rod to create a nice burr for my base peeling scraper.
