This may inspire me to actually finish the job, never heard of a card scraper before but I can see i've been desperately in need of one - once all the old varnish is off I actually quite enjoy the final sanding by hand but that looks just the ticket

Bladed scrapers will also do the job - but the card is more effective at getting the pressure and width of coverage right.
You don’t have to get all of the finish off but the more you do get off the fewer sanding pads / paper will be sacrificed.
Went through 5 80g 150mm pads on this lot. + 2 120g + 3 detail sander pads

If anyone is wondering the proper method for removal is shaving the wood with a card scraper
Then a fuck off big orbital sander
