riffler rasp, 180 mm, semi-circular, cut 1

Special item while stocks last: English quality rasps made of steel from DFM Corona.

The hand-cut sculptor's rasps are very suitable for a wide range of detailed work. They take well and create a relatively smooth surface thanks to the irregularly arranged teeth. One of the four sides is uncarved.

Rasp care:

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 woodcarving in particular, we recommend that you no longer use rasps for woodcarving that have already been used on stone. It is highly unlikely that you will achieve satisfactory results there. Conversely, use is generally less problematic.
