Stainless Steel Hand Rasp Dedra 270 mm, 8x8 Teeth, ABS Handle - 15B053

Hand rasp made of stainless steel by Dedra, 270 mm long with an 8x8 tooth pattern and an ergonomic ABS handle. The stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance and a consistent cutting surface suited for shaping, smoothing and removing material from wood, soft metals and plastics. The 270 mm length balances reach and control for workshop and DIY tasks, while the ABS handle ensures a firm grip during extended use.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction resists rust and maintains tooth sharpness longer than typical carbon steel rasps in humid environments. The 8x8 tooth pattern delivers moderate material removal with a predictable finish, allowing both coarse shaping and finer smoothing with controlled pressure. The ergonomic ABS handle reduces hand fatigue and improves grip security, supporting accurate rasping and safer handling. Compact overall length and balanced blade-to-handle ratio make the tool easy to maneuver in confined or detailed work areas.

Suitable for

• Shaping and profiling wood components in furniture and carpentry work
• Removing burrs and light material from soft metals such as aluminum
• Trimming and contouring plastic parts and composite materials
• General workshop maintenance and DIY repairs requiring corrosion-resistant tools

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Overall length: 270 mm
• Tooth pattern: 8 x 8 teeth (double-cut style)
• Handle material: ABS plastic, ergonomic design
• Intended materials: wood, soft metals, plastics

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly before starting the rasping operation. Hold the ABS handle with a comfortable grip and apply steady forward strokes for material removal; use lighter return strokes or lift on the return to avoid unnecessary abrasion. Adjust pressure and angle to control the rate of removal and the surface finish: a more angled presentation removes material faster, while a flatter approach refines the surface. For final smoothing, reduce pressure and use longer strokes along the grain or contour. Clean filings from the teeth periodically to maintain cutting efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when rasping. Keep the rasp dry and store in a protective sleeve or toolbox to prevent accidental damage to the teeth. For stubborn residues, use a brass or nylon brush to clear the teeth rather than hard metal brushes that may blunt the cutting edges.
