Favorite Of Professional Stockmakers For Shaping & Finishing
The famous Nicholson Shoemakers' and Patternmakers' Cabinet
Rasps made especially for wood filing where a smooth finish is
desired. Comes in two cuts, second or smooth, 10" long cutting
surface. Rasp is half-round shape, but slightly wider than usual
with wider radius also. Edges are cut (have teeth) and taper
slightly from tang to front. We have been looking for these for
many years at the suggestion of many, many good gunsmith and
stockmaker customers and friends. The unusual tooth design
eliminates most "filling" problems, does not gouge into wood or
snag cross-grain. Probably the most useful wood rasp for "almost
final" shaping and finishing. Teeth are coarser than the Wood
Files.
