Riffler rasp fine 19 cm

This rasp is machine-made and comparable to MILANI's hand-carved rasps in terms of the precision of its finish. The cut of this 19 cm rasp is finer than the MILANI rasps of the same size and is roughly equivalent to the MILANI 15 cm sculptor's rasps.

Care of the rasps:

We recommend using a file brush to clean the rasps.

Rasps cannot be resharpened. In order to maintain the sharpness of your rasps for as long as possible, we recommend that you do not use the rasps for work on quartz-containing stones, such as sandstone. Some serpentine and soapstones may also contain quartz. As quartz is harder than steel, the rasp surfaces are abraded and become blunt very quickly. Carbide or diamond rasps are therefore much more suitable for quartz-containing stones.

If you use rasps in wood carving, they usually remain sharp for much longer than when used in stone carving. As optimally sharp tools are essential for wood carving in particular, we recommend that you no longer use rasps for wood carving that have already been used on stone. It is highly unlikely that you will achieve satisfactory results there. Conversely, use is generally less problematic.
