Description
Shinto Saw Rasp: The Workhorse Among Hand Shaping Tools
This unique rasp is crafted from 10 hardened, zigzagged saw blades, riveted together to create a broad, waffled cutting surface that resists clogging. Ideal for shaping wood and compatible with soft metals, plastics, and plaster, this tool allows for rapid material removal without sacrificing control.
What is special about this Rasp:
- The Shinto saw rasp has two cutting surfaces in one tool, offering a coarse-cut (11tpi) on one side and a fine-cut (25tpi) on the other
- It rapidly removes material, similar to a hand-stitched cabinet rasp, and can refine coarse surfaces with its finer side
- Teeth extend to the edges for effective corner work
- Almost impossible to clog due to it’s unique open structure
- The Shinto saw rasp is positioned as a more affordable alternative to premium hand-stitched rasps that still delivers similar quality and feel when working with it
- Suitable for a wide range of woodworking (and similar hardness material) tasks, from making canoes, kayaks, and surfboards, to refining the necks of guitars or cellos.
