How to use

Secure the workpiece and hold the rasp by its handle, applying steady, even strokes in the direction appropriate for the profile you want to create.

Keep the rasp teeth clear of debris during use and avoid excessive lateral force that could damage the teeth or the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Store rasps in their supplied packaging or a protective rack to avoid tooth damage and to keep packs accessible in a workshop setting. For best results when working on wood, combine the coarse 4.0 mm rasp passes with subsequent finer files or sandpaper to achieve the desired surface finish.
