Stainless Steel Rasp 270 mm, tooth pattern 6x6, ABS handle — Dedra 15B052

The Dedra Stainless Steel Rasp 270 mm with a 6x6 tooth pattern and an ABS handle is a hand tool intended for shaping, smoothing and removing material from wood and similar soft materials. Constructed from stainless steel, the rasp provides corrosion resistance for reliable use in environments where moisture or variable conditions are present. The 270 mm working length and medium-coarse 6x6 tooth pattern balance material removal rate with surface finish, while the molded ABS handle offers an ergonomic grip for controlled filing.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction reduces risk of rust and extends service life compared with carbon-steel rasps when used in humid conditions. The 6x6 tooth pattern yields consistent cutting action for efficient stock removal and predictable surface texture. The ABS handle is designed to fit the hand comfortably, improving control and reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks. The compact 270 mm format is suitable for both bench and on-site work.

Suitable for

• Shaping and profiling softwoods and hardwoods
• Smoothing edges and removing high spots on wooden components
• Carpentry repairs and furniture restoration
• DIY woodworking projects and joinery fitting

Key specifications

• Material of working surface: stainless steel
• Overall working length: 270 mm
• Tooth pattern: medium-coarse (6x6 configuration)
• Handle material: ABS plastic
• Intended materials: wood and similar soft materials

How to use

Secure the workpiece to avoid movement, then hold the rasp by the ABS handle with a firm but comfortable grip. Apply even forward strokes along the direction of intended material removal; for finer finishes, reduce pressure and use lighter strokes or a cross-stroke technique to blend surfaces. Periodically check progress and remove metal filings from the rasp surface with a suitable brush or rasp file card to maintain cutting efficiency. Store the tool dry to preserve the stainless-steel surface and the integrity of the handle.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the rasp on clean, dry wood and match the tooth pattern to the task: use the 6x6 tooth pattern for moderate material removal while preserving control over the finish. When finishing surfaces, follow up with progressively finer tools such as files or sandpaper. Regular cleaning of the rasp teeth will maintain cutting performance and extend tool life.
