9 Shinto Saw Rasp

This rasp works much better than a traditional one. It is very sharp. I would like to have one in a rounded and round profile if available.

I love it. It is one of my best rough in tools.

Ive owned this rasp for a few years and always liked it. Both sides rapidly remove wood, crossing glue drips like nobodys business and never gumming up. You can develop a touch for using this to produce a pretty fine finish for a rasp. Skew cuts are key. My recent project is a laminated plywood trestle table. I am away from home and limited to a jig saw and circular saw on top of sawhorses. I had considered using an angle grinder with a sanding attachment but am really glad I used this rasp instead. It isnt as fast, but I have way more control and no chance of those little oops moments that can come with the angle grinder. I gave it my best freehand effort, but you can see in the pics that my plywood edges are far from even. I didnt measure but would guess the uneven edges were from 1/16 to 1/8 inch high. The top of the legs from center post to foot is about 2x2x13. Taking my time, this rasp took it from uneven glue lines to ready for 100 grit sanding in six minutes. I expect I will further develop my touch with this rasp through this project and shape pieces much more quickly. Also, there is no motor flinging sawdust into the air. I like the quiet and oneness-with-the-wood of using this hand tool, too. .

Removing wood from guitar necks. Shaping and preparing neck for final craving and final sanding. Works well, I feel as I become more familiar with the Shinto it will be even better. May the blessings of Joshua be upon you!

Thanks It was perfect, just like it should be

Like the product but wish the package would be in English to help us understand the functionality of the Rasp! I cannot speak or read Japanese......

Amazing tool. I will be ordering them as gifts for my friends. Just wow.

Best rasp that I have used for making axe handles. Easly cleaned and maintained.
