The metal piece is 3″ long and you insert 7/8″ of each side into the handles. That leaves only 1 1/4″ of exposed rod.
That does not allow adequate length to flat use to draw file (i.e.”flatten”) the scraper edge.

The burnisher that I described in the 5/17/26 post is what I like. Very effective.
The Accu-Burr looks great: 3/16″ rod and 5, 10, and 15 degree burr angles.
The built-in angle burnishers are essentially acheived by my gadget by tilting at the desired angle and then mildly sliding across the rod as you push/pull. I’ll detail that in a future post.

I have a similar range of scrapers. Getting a good consistent burr was difficult for me until I bought the Accurbur despite years of try and watching other folks how to draw a burr. Curious to see how you “draw file” the more convex and concave scrapers before making a burr.
