Rasp hand tools are ideal for woodworking due to their coarseness that allows them to rapidly deburr wood with ease. Rasps are used in a variety of applications such as:
• Workshops
• Carpentry
• Sculpting

A rasp is a coarse type of hand file that is designed to rapidly deburr and remove excess wood. Rasp teeth tend to be more coarse to allow for the wood to be easily cut and shaped at a faster rate. Half-round rasps are ideal for shaping concave and convex surfaces.

RS PRO rasp hand tools are available in a range of sizes including:

1467342 - 12 inch
1467341 - 10 inch
1611508 - 8 Inch

The coarseness of the rasp refers to the teeth or grade that can include bastard, second-cut and smooth. In this case the grade is Bastard.

Like files, rasps are available in a range of shapes to suit a variety of tasks. The following rasps are the most common:
• Cabinet rasp - Ideal for the initial shaping stages
• Round rasp - Perfect for concave and convex surfaces
• Half-round rasp - Similar to a round rasp, with the addition of a flat surface
• Square rasp - Great for angular shapes and notches
• Needle rasp - Excellent for finer detail and tight spaces
