Half-Round Rasps





Use on concave, convex, and flat surfaces. These rasps have sharp individual teeth that quickly remove large amounts of soft, clog-prone materials.
Style A rasps do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Double Cut—Surface has two sets of diagonal teeth and is often used with heavier pressure than single cut for rapid material removal.
Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.
